The Blackberry Picking series is the most recent body of work in which Thomas has leaned more heavily into mark-making and used language more explicitly. Working with found text and imagery filtered through personal history, he unearths layered meanings—echoes of place and the quiet tension between presence and absence. These works weave the personal and the collective, where gesture and word converge.
