IMAGINED AND REAL: THREADS OF LIFE
Paul Thomas, known as the “Recycle King,” is an artist and designer based in Memphis, TN. As the Artist In Residence (AIR) for ArtUp, Thomas helped to activate and transform a former liquor store into what is now OMG: Orange Mound Gallery. He is a resident-artist at the South Main Artspace Lofts in Memphis and its Memphis Liaison in charge of community engagement and outreach. Thomas is a strong advocate for cleaning up the environment and encouraging people to be creative with their resources. As his appellation and commitment to advocacy suggest, Thomas uses recycled materials and discarded items to create beautiful and unique pieces of art that have been exhibited in renowned museums and fashion shows throughout the United States.
