In Throughways, Thomas explores landscapes both real and imagined where humans have drawn a line through nature. The term “right-of-way” describes a path that is claimed for use by humans. A line for roads or utilities. The word “Right” in this term hints at a correctness in this. Drawing this line is the appropriate and necessary thing to do. “Right” also hints at ownership, that humans have the right to this land that the line is drawn through. This body of work explores these lines.
