The new installation Currents, is built around arrangements of clothing, digital colour photographs and adjusted ready-mades. Using pieces of used and bought fabric, alongside technological devices and other painted material, Tompkins will seek to embody a person interacting with their immediate environment, working through various thoughts, action and desires.
