Visual Art – Ottawa
Tick Tock Tom creates scrap metal sculptures from broken machines and discarded technology. His works are static representations of a moment that embodies character to create new life from old parts. He uses his sculptures to explore the connection between ideas and expression with both sensitivity and humour.
Sculpting with found objects has led to some interesting opportunities. Tom has created props for film and television productions. He has been designing awards for the Ottawa International Animation Festival since 2008, and his metal flowers have been used at weddings. He's not sure where this metal sculpting adventure is taking him, but is having fun getting there.
