Lava Thomas | October 24
Visiting Artists and Scholars
Lava Thomas's studio practice takes a wide range of thematic and material approaches. She utilizes a variety of techniques suited to the concept and evolution of each project – from drawing, painting, printmaking, and photography to sculpture and site-specific installations. Informed by feminist discourse, alternative approaches to portraiture, secular and religious ideas of the sacred, and African-American devotional and protest traditions, Thomas considers themes of social justice, female subjectivity, current events and the shifting tides of History
