TRICIA WRIGHT
 

My work draws on our complex, often ambivalent, relationship to the Home, and employs the physical materials of the domestic environment as metaphors for the psychological interior. Pattern plays a central, defining role in my work, and has its roots in my background growing up in England in a culture with a long tradition of decorative interiors. My sources are primarily wallpaper and textile designs, often from the 60's and '70s, chosen for their potential to conjure personal and cultural associations and—paradoxically—for their generic, mass-produced anonymity.
