Tracy Thomson
Tracy Thomson, AOCA, CSPWC, is a Toronto artist, who
studied Fine Art, then switched to Experimental Art in
her last year of study at OCA, in order to,
"explore, what
was in the abstract empty space surrounding the figure,
minus the figure". The Stewart building (which housed
the Experimental Art Department) provided large
studios in which to do so.
Tracy currently works out of her studio situated on the
shores of Lake Ontario, which she finds constantly
inspiring as well as treacherous, in its immense power
and ever-changing moods.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My feeling is that the beauty of any art form is in the ability to transport you from this place in time, to another. To
experience in a work of art, an environment that allows you to feel and sense the vastness of this unfamiliar place, as though you've already lived it, breathed it, heard it, felt it.
That, to me, is heaven on earth. In every piece I create, 1 chase after that experience.
I've no desire to replicate what exists right in front of me, it's already there. I need to invent new worlds that transcend reality as we know it. Worlds where organic life and beings are regenerated into something "other".
Continuum. The enchanted mysteries of what may lie ahead. The uncertain treachery of such places...this is the stuff that fuels me.
