"Thomson straddles the boundaries of art by juxtaposing the vernacular material he favours and the literal positioning of his work in an ambiguous variety of sites. He has shown in Albert Park. He has commandeered a grassy patch in central Wellington. He has tramped rural roads. But Thomson has also shown his work in the National Art Gallery and at dealer galleries throughout the country. Further stretching the concept of the museum without walls, he has lovingly plated his car with metal recycled from a burnt out hotel and parked in not in an art gallery - as Billy apple did his motor bike - but driven it out on the roads. Art at 50k an hour."
