| Summary |
Tom Moore is one of Australia's leading glass artists. Over his career he has carved out a singular voice within Australian glass art making. His engaging, sophisticated and technically challenging hybridised animal/plant sculptures - and the fantastical worlds they inhabit - are embedded in the history of glassmaking and scientific discovery. His artworks are disarmingly playful in their use of narrative to critique the pressing social and environmental concerns of our contemporary epoch. Tom Moore was born in 1971 in Canberra, Australia. He graduated from Canberra School of Art, Australian National University, in 1994, trained in production techniques at JamFactory until 1997, and worked as Production Manager in the JamFactory's glass studio for 15 years. In 2019, he was awarded a PhD at the University of South Australia for his thesis 'Agents of Incongruity: glassmaking embraces nonsense to navigate monsters, wonder and dread'. |
