CAROLINE THOMSON was born in Auckland, New Zealand. As a child she was into art, music, animals and exploration. At 19 she left on a ship for London where she was a singer in clubs. In 1972 she moved to New York where she did theater and performed with Jackie Curtis and Salvadore Dali among others. In 1974 she moved to Provincetown and became a tattoo artist eventually meeting her wife Susan and husband David, working peacefully and reclusively for more than 40 years until relocating again to New Zealand. Caroline also lived between London and Positano. She starred in the 1968 anti-documentary Dope (a visually sonic poem that captured a fleeting, psychedelic reflection of London’s Generation Counterculture), was shot by Gilles Larrain for his masterwork Idols, gave Marianne Faithfull her iconic hand tattoo, and was often the subject of her closest friends’ and lovers’ work including Cookie Mueller and Vali Myers. She has also been photographed by some of the most influential artists, designers and photographers of our time including Ettore Sottsass, Peter Hujar, David Armstrong and Nan Goldin Her work, like her life, has always led her, and now us, into new worlds, from continent to continent, from 60s folk singer to visual artist. Her sculptures remind us of life, and of death without morbidity. Her prints can hold their own among Ernst Fuchs’ Hundsgruppe and her drawings and paintings, often based on classical draftsmanship, invite us into dreams we never knew we had. From the 1970s through early '90s Caroline's art reminds us of the magic that is Provincetown.
