Kaleidoscopic translucency
- • Tom is driven by a fascination in texture
- • He has devised his own techniques and method of working
- • He is inspired by other periods and cultures
Tom Palmer's work oscillates between the label of fine art and decorative art – across a wide range of disciplines and materials: wood, alabaster, metal, resin as well as burnt gesso and antlers naturally shed by Scottish Red Deers. Despite studying Fine Art to foundation level, British born Palmer is almost completely self-taught and as he believes that “not having too much knowledge of a particular technique or material is very liberating and allows you to develop your own interesting responses, rather than being weighed down by preconceived notions of a craft practice.” He has devised his own methods of working. He takes inspiration from Medieval and Renaissance Europe, as well as the art of Japan, and examines these historic sources through a contemporary lens, in pursuit of something new and unexpected.
