Born in 1997 in Ilford, Thomas Holland’s work explores Identity through Photography, sculpture and instillation and sound. While Holland’s work is personal and draws from lived experiences his work feels universal as he creates 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. This work is labeled as “The Island” on his website.
A majority of Holland’s work tends to involve the audience, wether through purposeful activation of the work or accidental involvement.
