Tom’s artistic practice leans towards collaboration and experimentation with traditionally unconventional ways of installing works. Previous and on-going works include large scale sculptures, screen-printing, collaborative video works, music production, film photography, graphic design and organising TOMFEST. Tom is interested in notions of “the gestalt” in installation; preferring to create immersive experiences over stand alone objects. He merges this concept with pop culture referents to create his own multi-dimensional universes, where his creations live.
