Color screenprint, 1999. 958x652 mm; 37¾x25⅞ inches, full margins. Signed, titled, dated, and numbered 21/40 in pencil, lower margin. Printed for The Hourglass Project, Caversham Press, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.
The Hourglass Project, 1999 was a residency founded by Caversham Press that invited 15 women artists to create artworks "in the spirit of international exchange through creative work" and as an even exchange of ideas between local and international artists. Advancing Impulses 36 is a continuation of Thompson's application of scientific phenomena, mathematics and physics to abstraction, much like fellow Washington artist, Alma Thomas.
A painting from her Advancing Impulses series was recently exhibited in Never Done: 100 Years of Women in Politics and Beyond at The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College. Conidarias pp. 58-59.
