Thompson's work focuses on the exploration of identity, sexuality, gender, race and memory. In his ongoing Flower Wall series', Thompson conceals himself within a plethora of Australian flora with just a hint of painted limbs and eyes concealed beneath. In 2010 Thompson made history when he became the first Aboriginal Australian to be admitted into the University of Oxford in its 900-year history.
