Cooper Wright

Cooper Miller Wright is a Philadelphia-based artist, designer, and educator whose work explores object agency, material transformation, and the intersection of craft and digital fabrication. Working across ceramics, sculpture, sound, and installation, he utilizes the imagery and techniques of alchemy, technology, and speculative workflows and systems to examine how objects may carry meaning and experience.

Born in Teaneck, New Jersey, Wright earned a BFA in Interdisciplinary Sculpture from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2015 and an MS in Design Research from Drexel University. His work has been exhibited at the Pearlstein Gallery, Area 405, Gallery CA, and Dudd Haus, where he is also a member. He currently teaches and manages fabrication facilities within Drexel University’s Product Design program.
