Jaclyn Wright


Jaclyn Wright is an interdisciplinary artist and educator from the Midwest. She received her BA from Southern Illinois University Carbondale and her MFA from Indiana University. Her work combines traditional analog photographic techniques with contemporary digital methods and fabrication processes. Through this hybridized approach she draws connections between historical conceptions of photography’s material connection to reality and contemporary notions of its representational infidelity. Wright has been exhibited nationally and internationally and published widely. Her work has been included in the collections at The Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, and the Joan Flasch Artists’ Book Collection in Chicago, IL. Recent and upcoming exhibitions of her work include: Sabine Street Studios (Houston), SFO Museum (San Francisco), Houston Center for Photography (Houston), Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (Salt Lake City), Utah Museum of Fine Arts (Salt Lake City). She is currently an Assistant Professor of Photography and Digital Imaging at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, UT.
