More on Thomas:

Thomas Waters began making photographs in 1977 when a friend suggested borrowing his camera for a weekend – just to see how it went – and he’s been turning his lens towards the world ever since. Waters work however may best be described as mixed-media because it rarely obeys the rules of formalist photography; sometimes painting or sewing onto the work, or mixing the photographic image with other media or processes. Over the past few years, he has turned to screen printing as a medium of choice.

Through out his career Waters has had over 10 solo exhibitions and participated in 50 group shows.

"In my work I investigate the implications of a queer aesthetic using found objects and manipulated imagery, creating work that invites the easy touch on the uneasy.

I have always identified as an artist, more than as a photographer, because too often a photograph is purely narrative, or about place, which itself is a type of narrative. In my work, I am concerned more with the image being a magnifier of an object, to invite an investigation of that object in a very detailed and minute way. My work asks for you to study what I am putting out there, and really see it."
