d. thompson

Thompson is an accomplished conceptual assemblage artist who, in her Political series, superimposes found and manufactured objects on the template of the American flag. These recognizable symbols take on new meanings when combined, resulting in bold, instructive, and often disconcerting pieces.

 

Thompson's art invites viewers to actively engage with each work, interpreting the juxtaposition of meticulous details with her overall message. While thought-provoking and sometimes uncomfortable, her voice is not combative. Instead, she encourages reconsideration of assumptions, aiming to foster a new understanding of our shared reality and heightened empathy for one another.
