Jordan Thomas is an artist based in Swansea who strives to teach and bewilder through the use of multimedia experimentation and manipulation, often warping the barrier between viewer and participant through the use of space and interaction, evoking thought and providing knowledge, reaching out and giving the future to those who are willing to get their hands dirty.

Bubble
The series "bubble" comes from my previous exhibition in which I invited people to explore the artistic medium of ferrofluid, showing them my processes and seeing if they can create similar works within the space. This particular offshoot of the exhibition came when a fluid formation was overloaded with thin water colour and ink, it was then knocked slightly so that the waters escaped the formation. After being left for a few hours I then began to play with the new liquid that had been left sliding away from the form, it had taken on a thickened form and was therefore easier to manipulate into creating the droplet formations we see.

The Exhibition
This is my April exhibition currently in progress. The first demonstration seemed to go really well and everyone left a little more knowledgeable from the experience, however we shall see what happens in the next few demonstrations. I will try and keep this updated with images from some of the demo's and hopefully a few better images of the exhibit in general.

Actual text based human interaction, a first for this blog, maybe more to come
After a while of working with ferrofluids to create the chemical compositions that stand somewhere between painting and sculpture I have finally been given the chance to create a small exhibit within Swansea Metropolitan University starting on the 15th of April spanning to the 21st of April which will consist of several of the images on this site and a few still unseen images (which will possibly be uploaded here in time) alongside several demonstrative performances (which I will hopefully upload here too) finally getting to express myself on a larger scale again, including education and amazement within the work, going back to my roots and leaving the exploration of purely aesthetic science temporarily behind while getting to indulge myself in the beautiful art form of exhibition curation as well as performance, hopefully it will go well and I will keep you updated, for better or for worse.
Had to add an image there, pure text seriously bored me.
