Laura C. Wright

Laura C. Wright is a Seattle-based artist whose creative practice has been deeply rooted in the Duwamish Valley since her move to the area in 1998. Her work spans textiles, technology, and socially engaged projects, evolving from community-based initiatives such as the Georgetown Super 8 Film Festival to a studio practice centered on holistic and sustainable approaches shaped by her lived experience with illness. 

Through her exploration of natural pigments, plant dyes, and phytoremediation, Wright creates work that reflects connections between plants, color, and healing. Her projects—including Camoufleur, which reimagines camouflage textiles to reveal hidden histories; HtFaD (How to Felt About Dyeing), a meditative series rooted in processing illness and loss; and DyePharm, which explores plant technology through dyes and pigments—bring together research, material experimentation, and community collaboration. 

Alongside her artistic practice, Wright teaches sculpture, textiles, film, sound, electronics, painting, and drawing. She also organizes participatory art-making events that foster dialogue and connection. By weaving together diverse media, contexts, and stories, she creates opportunities for both individual reflection and collective understanding.
