Sarah Wright: Fresh Starts, Glasgow Print Studio, Trongate 103, Glasgow until 23 March
www.glasgowprintstudio.co.uk
There are some parallels between the work of Sarah Wright and the idea of exploring the world through the medium of the human form. The twist is that magpie-like, Wright begs, borrows and steals from mediums such as photography, sculpture, digitalisation, book design, painting and more.
In this new exhibition at the Glasgow Print Studio (GPS), Wright, who graduated in painting and printmaking from the Glasgow School of Art in 2009, develops these themes using the graphic stream of consciousness which has run through earlier work.
In previous shows, her signature style has been taking material from newspapers and fashion magazines, developing and reproducing the images into abstraction.
Using various printmaking techniques she then investigates ways in which printing straddles both textual and visual language.
For Fresh Starts, Wright has created a new body of work, conceived as a "meditative installation" which explores a series of new themes. Working at GPS in Glasgow's Merchant City, she has employed photo-etching, photocopy and digital print methods, creating a sequence of works that are hung on draped fabric partitions; choreographing the viewing of the exhibition, and also the viewers experience of the gallery space.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
