In The Glasshouse, A Hazy and Silent Caress

The series Wild and Wondrous finds inspiration in Amy Wright's own overgrown studio garden, where plant life thrives unchecked and flourishes beyond the boundaries of garden walls and fences. Each of the paintings captures the autumnal transition of garden beds, exposing the stark, linear elements of winter and hinting at the growth to come from the garden's dormant state. This dynamic space represents growth, decay, and rejuvenation, symbolizing resilience, persistence, and continuity in a utopian realm of perpetual motion and celebration Rendered in acrylic, oil, and dry pastel, these large paintings use color, gesture and layered textures to capture a living, changing space.
