Elena Thomas has an evolving multi-disciplinary practice that ranges across drawing, textiles, installation, sound, songwriting and performance.
Her work for many years has concerned childhood and family relationships. Recent research sees her revisiting her own childhood: a solitary, rural and independent world of woods, streams and creativity.
This has resulted in a large body of observational drawings that feed imagined and slightly surreal narratives.
She finds herself increasingly interested in the way political issues affect those relationships, and the world around them.
Her visual works, sound and performances have been seen the UK, in the USA, Sweden, Denmark and Greece.
Elena has a Masters Degree in Arts Practice and Education from Birmingham City University’s School of Art.
