Described by intermedia art pioneer Claudia Hart as a classical romantic, Dwight's work often examines properties of the natural world like compression, scale, complexity in noise/turbulence (ie: fractalism), and the birth and evolution of form, often presenting deceptively simple and timeless seed or ovule forms. A survivor of a (noncancerous) childhood brain tumor, Dwight's images often reference neurological or biological forms and imagery. In these ways the artist seeks to embrace the universality of the art experience through an iconic visual poesy, an emotive appreciation of physics and the natural world.
Dwight's work has been presented internationally, including in Amsterdam, Paris, Los Angeles, Berlin, Seattle, Atlanta, Vienna, Salzburg, and New York. In 2012 he exhibited in Kassel, Germany as part of the Kreuzberg Pavillon at dOCUMENTA (13). The same year, he was awarded the Harvestworks New Works Residency in New York. In 2010, Dwight was invited to attend the GlogauAIR Artist's Residency in Germany, and in the following year, he was awarded a United States Artist's Residency. As part of the Aesthetics + Therapeutics Lab, a collectively run platform developed to initiate installations and experiments in immersive art and healing, Dwight installed a multi-sensory environment at the Vortex Immersion Media Dome at LA Center Studios in 2014.
He was commissioned by the Seattle Art Museum to create new work for the Disguise: Masks and Global African Art exhibition at UCLA's Fowler Museum, which traveled to the Brooklyn Museum, New York in April 2016.
