Time, memory, and the body intersect in Rikkí Wright’s evocative new work. Her imagery and materials emerge from her own body and her personal history. Memories of the rich farmland of Alabama, where she was born and regularly returns inform the content of her art. Wright’s exhibition at Rift Contemporary presents two bodies of work, dreamlike cyanotypes, the largest of which are created with prints of her own body, and ceramic sculptures infused with family memories. Both bodies of work are made with materials and processes that derive from nature. The cyanotypes are produced outdoors with sunlight and the ceramics incorporate clay from the soil of her family’s Alabama farm. The artist’s presence is felt in all of her works. - Jeffrey Deitch
