Thom Kofoed




My work stems from the fear of being forgotten, which in turn stems from my fear that I'll never truly be known.

Underneath the intrinsic humour of my work is a deep-seated fear of leaving no mark on the world and having my life mean nothing to anybody. I hope that the viewer is able to delve beneath the surface and understand that the core reasons for my practice go further than to merely amuse, but is actually a tool for me to try to better understand and confront the concerns I have about myself.
Because of this, the work that I show is directly linked to experiences that I have had and would like to have in the future.
