Deep-Rooted Things | Ashmolean Museum Oxford

13 June–7 December 2025

Central to the exhibition will be Sons and Couch, a life-size sculptural artwork cast in jesmonite of the artist's sons. They have featured in their mother's moving and personal work since an early age. This new piece is currently a work in progress. Also on display will be Fridge Still Life (2021), which has not been on public display previously, alongside other works by Wright and objects from the Ashmolean's own collection.
