My current body of work Internal Wilderness explores the relationship between solitude and our collective experience of it. I reveal intimate moments of the human condition by utilizing a variety of landscapes to serve as various reflections of our internal environment. The intense experiences within grief, shame, and loneliness lend a sharp departure from the present. These transitional states isolate us in a foreign world with only the company and guidance of our own minds. I create to explore (and normalize) the discomfort of that foreign world within myself. www.lexrthomas.art
