Sarah Wright is a New York-based artist working across ceramic archival practice, collaborative figurative drawing, and performance.

After twenty years in fashion design, Wright turned to clay to record narratives and stories that are left behind. She presses vintage garments into stoneware, preserving their making and wear past the life of the cloth, and incorporates gathered materials such as volcanic ash, salt, and kelp into sculptural and lighting work under the name Arkhe Object.

Her figurative practice is built on long collaborations: drawings layered over months and years with the same models, and performance work that makes the process of making visible as it happens.

Wright's permanent public installation, Site Archive: MADE Bush Terminal, is on view at MADE Bush Terminal in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. She has exhibited internationally, led sustainability initiatives in partnership with the UN Office for Partnerships, and completed a residency in Iceland. She works of out a community studio in Brooklyn.
