Mysterious Matters

Louis Thompson’s work draws inspiration from the aesthetics of taxonomy, scientific research, and medical apparatus. He has a long-held interest in creating collections of objects that relate with one another through colour, form or scale. His installations are often sequences of multiple free blown and solid sculpted objects in which mysterious forms appear suspended in a richly-coloured medium. He began making these artworks after studying Freud’s writings on dream analysis. These collections display a sequential narrative; ‘It’s something that’s repeated but not repetitive – taking a form and twisting and distorting it in every way to show the diverse range of possibility of a single object.’
