Elena Thomas has an evolving multi-disciplinary practice that ranges across drawing, textiles, installation, sound, song-writing and performance.
Elena explores metaphor and semiotics to convey relationships between parents and children and their positions in a wider, political landscape. Her current practice is concentrated on lichen-covered sticks and stones, drawn from close observation without context, to signify kinships and a sense of rootlessness.
Elena has a Masters Degree in Arts Practice and Education from Birmingham City University’s School of Art. Her visual works, sound and performances have been seen across the UK, in the USA, Greece and Sweden.
