Introducing Tom
Each piece Tom produces is a one-off, entirely made by hand with no computerised processes involved.
His intricate work is so fine that each piece has to be predominantly constructed using a microscope. Many of his works contain more than 10,000 single laser spot welds, some containing up to two million.
Platinum is central to Tom’s work. Recently his experimentation with producing colour in platinum has paid off. The process is, needless to say, top secret but what he can divulge is that he is now able to ‘manipulate’ the appearance of this famously white metal and create vivid colours.
