artist-Jeffrey Thompson

In my work I use recycled materials such as newspapers and magazines in combination with traditional media. When complete, the original content is obscured or obliterated. What remains are bare remnants of its former color, shape and tone. I use the grid in my work as a departure point for exploring composition.

Structures related to the grid exist within many art forms. Mosaics, textile and film are some obvious examples, but the grid can also be construed in work as diverse as theatre, music, sculpture and dance. It is the stage, the wall, the screen and the dais upon which many forms of artistic expression depend.
