in the United States. Her work has been featured at the Drawing
Center, Murray Guy, the Sculpture Center, White Columns, Debs&Co.,

Austin Thomas makes collage-based drawings, where she constructs drawings
by adding down precisely cut layers from found papers. Her Build
Drawings possess mandala-like intricacy and meticulous detail,
but are also architectural in form and sculptural in shape. The
artist lives and works in New York.
