Born in 1997 in Ilford, Thomas Holland’s work explores Identity through sculpture, instillation, photography and sound. While Holland’s work is personal and draws from lived experiences as a working class person from Essex, Holland strive’s to create work that feels universal, Holland makes love letters to the working class experience and hopes to create a sense of understanding through shared emotions.
Holland creates work through the guise of “The Island”, a fictional island made from his own psyche and need to express the deeper meaning of his own psychosis and delusions. Translating into physical objects, images and sounds.
A majority of Holland’s work tends to involve the audience, wether through purposeful activation of the work or accidental involvement.
