BA Thomas

66 pages, 42 plates
11 x 9 3/4 in. (27.94 x 24.76 cm.)
Perfect bound with a foil stamped softcover

Printed and bound by Laser Image Printing in Durham, NC 

Edition: 150 copies


Tableau Vivant frames Thomas' creative process in Joshua Tree, California, where she attended a 6-week artist residency. She arranged objects from the residency into new compositions, creating what the French call tableaux vivants - living pictures. Thomas began each painting on-site before eventually deconstructing the arrangements and finished paintings in the studio. The site ultimately bears no trace of her being there - the painting serves as the artifact. Through her paintings, tableaux, photography, videography, and sketchbook filled with writing and drawing, this catalog strings together a narrative about the artist's experience in the high desert.
