Lucy Wright

Lucy Wright (b.1985) is an artist based in Leeds, UK. Her work sits at the intersection of folklore and place, often using as source material the large personal archive of photographs and research she has gathered over nearly a decade of documenting female and queer-led folk arts and seasonal customs. Wright received a Vice Chancellor’s PhD scholarship from Manchester School of Art (2014) and is a Visiting Research Fellow at University of Hertfordshire. She has undertaken residencies for Analogue Farm (2022), Morning Boat (2018/19) and Airspace Gallery (2015) and presented solo shows at The Bug (2022), Shrewsbury Art Gallery (2021), Lancashire Encounter (2021) and Cecil Sharp House (2017). Recent commissions include for Meadow Arts (2021), Leeds Piano Festival (2021) and Compton Verney (2023). A member of the Throes of Grief artist collective, she was also part of the 2021 cohort of STUDIOBOOK by MDP. Leeds
