Michael Wright, Post grad Dip, Fine Art Sculpture (Royal Academy Schools) MA by Res (University of Hertfordshire) HE Fellow, is Senior Lecturer on the BA Hons Fine Art Programme, Faculty of Creative Arts at the University of Hertfordshire UK
He undertook an MA by Research in 2001 entitled 'Drawing, processes of conceptual modelling of landscape space' This research practice has subsequently developed as an exchange between drawing, sculpture and time based video installations.
In particular Wright is interested in the kinaesthetic reading of movement, by which we imaginatively and empathetically read both actual and inferred movement in the body, the environment and plastic art works. Observation in this kinaesthetic sense is not solely the representation of appearance or symbolic representation but rather the graphic or cinematic trace of consciousness as it moves through space, reading and interpreting the weight, rhythm and movement of form through the movement of the interpretative gaze. Drawing from this perspective of understanding is a performative process of touch and mobility of mark making which in turn is a visual record of the analytical and empathetic projection of the gaze.
