PAST

DAPHNE WRIGHT

26 April 2003 - 23 May 2003

'Daphne Wright's work plays with the desire we seem to have for an encounter with beauty in art. Much of her work is visually stunning in a relatively conventional sense. The whiteness of the plaster in her early works, which transmutes into delicate fabric patterns or organic forms, or the shimmering seductiveness of the foil covered surfaces in the later works draw us into a world of optical bliss. Yet what is central to these works is that on both the macro and micro scale - the distanced and the intimate - Wright willfully undermines this promise of pleasure.'

David Jeffreys from ANONYMOUS for Daphne Wright
