Cosmic Diaries
This is a page-a-day diary. The hours of daylight per day have been translated into a page size.
So as the days get longer the pages get bigger, then smaller as the days get shorter.
There is no cover or back, or beginning or end because the calendar is based on the earths orbit of the sun, which doesn't begin or end anywhere.
Loop Machine
This is an image from my final show at the RCA.
It shows a pin hole camera amongst some other things. A pin hole camera that doesn't have a pin hole in it.
You stand infront of it and fire a pin through the tinfoil front of the camera using a miniture blow pipe.
This then makes a self portrait of you firing the pin that made the hole, that made the photograph, which is of you firing the pin that made the hole, that made the photograph, which is of you... etc.

Hair Dressers Chairs
Some older work.
Basically, we (Platform 2, RCA) were lent a hairdressers as an external place to work, away from the college.
When it was time for a show back at the RCA we moved all the furniture from the hairdressers to the gallery. Only we didn't have enough seating for everyone, so i made these to match the hairdressing furniture (The hairdressers chairs were made of metal and leather etc. mine are wood and screws and paint).

Oh No
A Project for Sevres (French Porcelain Manufacturer).
Some words by Roland Lamb;
"With influences as diverse as Jackie Chan and the immortal conflict between Road Runner and Wyle E. Coyote, Thomas's photographic documentary shows how easy it is to decontextualize the perfection of a Sevres vase. Perfection, then, lies not in the object but the rituals and performances of value that take place around the object. Depending on one's subjective relation to Sevres production, the work evokes danger, humour, or even the sublime."
