Globetrotter, ontdekkingsreiziger, kunstenaar.
Tijdens een reis over de eilandengroep Siribuat, gelegen in de Zuid-Chinese Zee, fotografeerde Tom Smetsers enorme schelpen. Hiermee legt hij de basis vast van zijn organische oervormen, door hem zelf vertaald als “Hulsels van weekdieren”.
De objecten van Tom Smetsers zijn hand vervaardigd en uniek van stuk. Gebruik makend van de fusing technieken, waarbij smelttemperaturen tot 860 graden worden opgevoerd. Ieder object toont anders van vorm, zo ontstaat er een eigen karakter en een uniek kunstobject op maat. - About the artist
