STATEMENT

As someone who grew up navigating two cultures, my work employs a range of mediums including ceramics, fiber, paint, and wood to explore the intersections of my Chinese heritage and American food culture. In recent years, I have become increasingly fascinated by the ways in which food and the act of eating can be both a source of connection and a site of tension. My ceramic sculptures often depict familiar foods I craved as a child, each one bitten as an exploration of the human form and my fascination with these highly processed foods I was seldom allowed to eat. Throughout my making process, I contemplate the complexities of my own identity and the ways in which societal values intersect with consumption.

BIO

Ricey Wright creates playful and visually striking works that focus on themes of identity and consumption through a variety of mediums, including ceramics, fiber, paint, and wood. Drawing upon her upbringing in the suburbs of southern California, Ricey investigates the intersection of her Chinese heritage within American culture. After graduating with a BFA in Studio Art from Brigham Young University in 2020, she has focused on her ceramic food pieces which investigates her biracial identity, as well as the human form and its relationship with highly processed foods. Ricey has exhibited her work at several galleries across the country, including the Textile Art Center in Brooklyn, New York and the MCLA Gallery in Massachusetts. She currently resides in California with her husband and newborn baby.
