While positioned firmly in abstraction, his practice has decidedly personal underpinnings, exploring notions of contemplation, perceptions of time and space, complexity, impermanence, knowing, and feeling. Art history, the studio, the home, and life outside of them fold in on one another with a quiet sensitivity, humour, and poignancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMade in close cooperation with longtime friend and creative collaborator, graphic designer Stuart Geddes, Thomas’s latest book \u003ci\u003eAmid \u003c\/i\u003eis a quietly unabashed meander through Thomas’s world. Here, painting, photography, and text juxtapose, oscillate, and in time, become a composite. He creates a space where, as he puts it, ‘simple complexities’ alter our reading of the gestures at hand – monochrome paintings, humorous observations, titles, and photographs of family, public happenstance, and his dog Jimmy, echo and coalesce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAs Thomas writes, ‘This publication is a celebration of the complexity of art, life, and of the wonder of simple things, [It is a] book, to paraphrase the Irish poet Seamus Heaney, of “subtleties and tolerances”. [It] offers a space\/time for musing … when we muse, we don’t have to conclude but can accept what is there in all its openness.’\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perimeter Editions","offers":[{"title":"Special Edition: An artwork chosen by Perimeter!","offer_id":49481022603503,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Special Edition: making love in a cold climate","offer_id":49481020145903,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Special Edition: a pigeon visiting Paris","offer_id":49481020178671,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Special Edition: Looking…","offer_id":49481020211439,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Special Edition: Taking a line for a walk (drawing)","offer_id":49481020244207,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Special Edition: dog sniffing the edge of a photograph","offer_id":49481020276975,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Special Edition: a gentle fading","offer_id":49481020309743,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Special Edition: dog ignoring Kapoor","offer_id":49481020342511,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Special Edition: Taking a monochrome for a walk","offer_id":49481020375279,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Special Edition: a memory of the future","offer_id":49481020408047,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Special Edition: What is this time and space between Heaven and Earth?
