About
Siân Wright is a fine artist working with drawing, photography, installation, and performance. Her practice responds to place, uncovering hidden narratives through material processes such as sound, paper, cloth, and wax. Through repetitive and labour-intensive methods, she explores human trace, memory, and the archive. Her work acts as a form of remembrance, examining presence, absence, and the ways histories are forgotten, misremembered, or preserved.
She is currently Technician in Photography and Printmaking at the University of Lincoln, supporting teaching, material processes, and student practice.
