Kimberly Thomas

Kimberly Thomas is a biracial interdisciplinary sculptor and flameworker. Her narrative works are sculptural illustrations of a re-imagined world, fabrications of obscure inventions, alternate realities, and speculative futures. Her stories describe a pilgrimage through time, space and dimensions. Drawing influence from concepts, questions and theories about human nature, Thomas’s works are a ground to explore the truth, be it flawed, darkly humorous or peculiar, yet they speak to the stark realities of human existence. They are a mechanism through which she challenges ingrained perspectives, questions the status quo, dismantles false perceptions, and confronts harsh circumstances.
