𝗘𝗿𝗶𝗻 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: 𝘔𝘦𝘮𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦

For 𝘔𝘦𝘮𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 Wright expands her examination of domestic architecture, perception, and surface through an attempt to find the edges of a single word, ‘smell.’ Traversing the field of sensory experience, Wright draws upon three themes: mythology, memory, and research. Across a new suite of paintings, three life-scale kitchenette installations, and a loose-leaf catalogue combining her own texts with reference ephemera, Wright explores this elusive sense, which resists stable representation.

#erinwright @erin.k.wright ‘s 1) “Company,” 2026 [PS - I love the #dragonflys !] ; and, 2) “Love Apple,” 2026, both of which are on view in Erin’s “Memnosphere” exhibition at @anatebgigallery through January 16, 2026; and, 3) “Zero Calorie Desserts,” 2026, which was previously on view at @anatebgigallery ‘s booth at @thearmoryshow 2026. In a very cool way, instead of normal perspective, Erin uses what’s known as “isometric projection,” the drawing method architects use, so there is no vanishing point and objects sit in the picture without hierarchy. This choice is surly in part due to the fact that Erin has a Masters in architecture  from @ucla and teaches architecture at @woodbury_university in #la . Erin is represented by @anatebgigallery as well as @maki_gallery_tokyo

Various pop science books claim that Elizabethan women tucked peeled whole apples or slices of apples under their armpits to soak up sweat while dancing or socializing. These women then gave “love apples” as gifts to men they fancied, and the suitor would smell or eat the apple as a gesture of affection.

Whether or not the practice ever occurred, its continued circulation suggests it serves a function beyond historical accuracy: it destabilizes a modern sensory order in which smell occupies a devalued position, and resists a broader cultural tendency to sanitize the body of its biological signals.

Magnolias are native to both Asia and the Americas and are widely regarded as among the most evolutionarily primitive lineages of flowering plants, with fossil evidence indicating their presence since prehistoric times. Notably, the plant’s reproductive structure has remained largely unchanged across millions of years of evolutionary history.

Humans are remarkably sensitive to a particular pheromone released by female fruit flies, and even trace amounts can leave a drink smelling and tasting off. Female fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) release around 2.4 nanograms (1 nanogram is equal to 1/1,000,000,000 of a gram) of this mate-attracting chemical every hour. To study the effects of a single nanogram of fly pheromone, researchers recruited eight seasoned wine tasters from Germany’s Baden region. The participants sampled wine from glasses that had briefly held a female fly, a male fly, or no fly at all. Consistently, the glasses exposed to female flies were judged to have a stronger, more noticeable odor than the rest.
