Exclusive Members' Talk – Daphne Wright Exhibition, with Xa Sturgis

An Exclusive free Talk for Members of the Ashmolean

With Xa Sturgis, Director of the Ashmolean
This talk takes place online only

At this exclusive online talk, Museum Director Xa Sturgis will introduce sculptures by Irish artist Daphne Wright that consider the tradition of still life and respond to the sculptures in our Cast Gallery and throw a spotlight on this contemporary artist's exciting new show.

Daphne Wright works in unfired clay and jesmonite and has long experimented with casting.

Central to the exhibition is Sons and Couch, a life-size sculptural artwork cast in jesmonite of the artist’s sons, made especially for this show. They have featured in their mother’s moving and personal work since an early age.

The talk will be available to watch live on Zoom and a recording will be shared with ticketholders, following the event.

Tickets are free but booking is essential. Tickets are only available to Members of the Ashmolean. Not a Member yet? Find out more about Ashmolean Membership.
