Autumn Skye Morrison
Canadian · b. 1983
Autumn Skye Morrison paints female figures whose bodies dissolve into cosmic landscapes and natural elements, creating the same sense of human and nature merging into one unified form seen in The Source. Her rich color palettes and symbolic imagery of women as vessels of elemental forces closely mirror Thompson's approach.
Josephine Wall
British · b. 1947
Josephine Wall creates vibrant oil and acrylic paintings where female figures physically transform into flowing water, waves, and natural landscapes, directly paralleling the merging of body and waterfall in The Source. Her symbolic exploration of women as embodiments of nature's interconnected forces shares the same spiritual and visual language.
Android Jones
American · b. 1975
Android Jones creates works where the human figure opens outward to reveal swirling natural and cosmic forces flowing from within the body, directly echoing the imagery of Thompson's chest opening to release a waterfall. His exploration of interconnectedness between the human spirit and elemental nature is a strong thematic and visual parallel.
