James Wright bases his drawings on snap-shots of corners of the inner city. In the artist's own words, his work is about 'neglect, decay and the everyday, the often overlooked and abandoned'. In constructing his drawings with a high level of detail, Wright evokes the objectivity of the photograph, in which no element has priority over another.
