About Jock Thomson
Jock Thomson is an artist photographer based in Glasgow, currently studying at the Glasgow School of Art. In his work, the body is fragmented and acted upon in unexpected ways, offering a glimpse into a world where the element of surprise is paramount to the experience of sensual pleasure. Off the course of the dominant sexual script, Thomson’s photographs pervert the body as we encounter it in the normative day-to-day. Taking inspiration from fashion, fetish and fine art photography alike, Thomson seeks to break down the separation between these disciplines, as he does that of queerness and kink from public life. This is part of a larger attempt to collapse boundaries between what is and isn’t considered ‘legitimate’. The aesthetic attention given to the saturated snapshots into fetishistic life shows queerness not as a seedy underbelly of ‘straight’ life, but as a community that is deeply and rigorously attached to aesthetic thrill, one where sex is brought out of the prosaic and treated as art.
