Wright's work investigates the relationship between body and self.  Her photographs challenge attitudes towards physical conditions, including skin diseases and disability questioning the boundaries of what is considered beautiful or acceptable in the human body.

'I' is a series of digitally manipulated photographic self-portraits produced in Scotland in 1998-99 whilst artist in residence at Napier University in Edinburgh. They were produced in collaboration with people with congenital physical disabilities.

A different disability is superimposed onto each of the eight images of Wright in such a way that the composite figure looks convincing, but so that, in realizing that all the portraits are of the same person, viewers will begin to question their reaction to seeing a disabled body.  This work was, therefore, aimed at challenging public perceptions of, and attitudes toward, physical disability, and questioning the boundaries of what is considered beautiful and/or acceptable with regard to body form.

As the project evolved, Wright realized that in a metaphorical sense this work also represents the feeling of abjection or foreignness that everyone experiences at some time in relation to their own body. The work uses digital manipulation to construct identities that represent a universal experience of self as imperfect. These constructed figures explore and expand definitions of an acceptable body form and bring into question social definitions of disability.

The ornate historical setting in which these figures are placed offers them status and a place within the tradition of portraiture. The historic works of art within the rooms such as the classical sculpture draw our attention to traditional and historic ideals of beauty...challenging the viewer to assess their own opinions.
