ABOUT ME

My name is Tom and I am a designer and curator. I am available for full time or freelance work, please get in touch via email for any inquiries.

My practice is rooted in care, community and accessibility with the goal to translate powerful messages through tool making, play and alternative solutions in order to empower individuals and organisations to make genuine change.

Amplifying the voices of activist ideas and individuals, my current research pursues the freeing of culture from debilitating systems and the creation of new ones that empower all, human and non-human.

2020-21

Whilst living in Melbourne, I design and co-curated an exhibition of over 60 artists in a closing down arts hotel, alongside Aphrodite Feros-Fooke. Culminating in a series of events that used perfomances, role-playing and live-music to lead participants through the exhibition, the projects success was rewarded with a Creative Victoria arts grant which funded the design and development of www.supernaculum.art, an online exhibition and event catalogue, holding the spirit of the now closed hotel, digitally.
