Bio/Statement:
Since 2005, Thomas Moore’s practice has focused primarily on a series of photographs entitled “The Past Inside the Present” that consists of images of his immediate and extended family in Florida, Connecticut, Maine, and Ohio, and the surrounding environments. In this body of work, Thomas has attempted to describe a specific type of narrative that explores a sense of mystery and the unknown – a feeling that something perhaps unknowable is lurking just beneath the surface of everyday American experience.
Thomas’ recent work has involved community, community building, and human interaction as core components. His project Shine a Light asks participants to consider how they present themselves to the outside world, and looks to bring people out of their everyday environments and often siloed routines so that they might be seen and connected to a wider world.
