With Xa Sturgis, Director of the Ashmolean
At this exclusive online talk, Museum Director Xa Sturgis will introduce sculptures by Irish artist Daphne Wright which consider the tradition of still lifes and respond to the sculptures in our Cast Gallery and throw a spotlight on this contemporary artist's exciting new show.
Daphne Wright works in unfired clay and jesmonite and has long experimented with casting.
Inside Daphne Wright's exhibition in Gallery 8
Central to the exhibition is Sons and Couch, a life-size sculptural artwork cast in jesmonite of the artist’s sons (above right), made especially for this show. They have featured in their mother’s moving and personal work since an early age.
The talk will be available to watch live on Zoom and a recording will be shared with ticketholders, following the event.
