Description
Elizabeth Thomson
Tongatapu, 2016
glass spheres, optically clear epoxy resin, cast vinyl film, lacquer on contoured and shaped wood panel
500mm square
Elizabeth Thomson graduated with a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Auckland. She has worked primarily in the mediums of sculpture and installation for over thirty years, developing a remarkable range of works through which she explores the complex visual interplay between art and science.
Thomson has exhibited widely and her work is held in major national and international collections, including Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
Thomson has a longstanding interest in ecology and conservation and is drawn to the visual abstractions of macro and micro landscapes and cellular matter. Her ongoing bronze moth series has recently expanded to include both real and imagined native moths in colour from New Zealand and around the world. This open-ended series can represent community, fragility and the need for protection and care.
