Glasgow-based artist Hayley Tompkins creates installations incorporating photographs alongside a diverse range of objects. Her Digital Light Pool works – an ongoing series of paintings in plastic trays - treat paint as physical skin that can be applied to any surface, encouraging viewers “to re-see something, to repeat the act of looking.” This approach can also be seen in Tompkins’ works included in Object & Thing. Color and pattern serve as an abstract articulation between the furniture and the surrounding environment.
