Thomas Griffiths
Sheffield
I am primarily a sculptor and digital artist. I also co-direct GLOAM as part of a cooperative organisation, a gallery and studios based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.
Thomas Griffiths (Bolton, 1993), is a recently graduated artist based in Sheffield. Influenced by industrial artefacts and public/hidden spaces, their practice reimagines and reinscribes commonplace objects and symbols with unexpected interpretations. Through playful use of materiality and symbolism, the work aims to infiltrate and divert attention towards the overlooked, highlighting nuances of working-class culture and queer identity. Sensual-yet-gauche representations combine with tongue-in-cheek humour to convey these narratives.
Alongside their artistic practice, they are a co-director and curator of GLOAM, an artist-led grassroots gallery and studio space, Sheffield.
