Thomas Bils
Thomas Bils investigates the mutability of truth and narrative. Reflecting
during the beginning of the opioid crisis on the absurdities familiar to him from
growing up in the suburban South, Thomas crafts images that are often drawn
from personal experiences, carefully blurring the borders between fact and
fiction. In these slippages of recollection, he takes on the role of unreliable
narrator to develop a situational ambiguity, prompting the viewer to identify
where the fabrications occur in an attempt to grasp meaning and order.
