Tom White ~ Drawn & Quartered tumblers

 ~           

 
 
I can't remember who said it, but almost every work of visual art becomes invisible with the repetition of viewing it. Familiarity breeds contempt?     

Artist, Tom White may have, in essence, found a remedy for that with his series, Tumblers, one of several different series in his new work he has called Drawn & Quartered (link to info below).         
 
The tumblers are collages that are not glued or fixed so that when turned in any direction the parts of it fall in random patterns; basically forming an infinite variety of images. It's Chance Operation - Aleatoric music made visual. 
 
He has framed some that hang on a wall as usual (image at top) but some are freestanding so they can be placed on a table or shelf. Two samples, Kaleidoscape and Alice's Looking Glass are shown below.        
 
Tom White and his studio assistant, Isaac Amala, will be demonstrating what they do at the K Gallery in the Rhythmix Cultural Works in Alameda tomorrow, Saturday, September 10, from 1 to 3 PM
 
The first work is titled, Kaleidoscape, the photos are of this one piece rotated and turned in different directions so the pieces inside the frame fall where they may.

The second sample is titled, Alice's Looking Glass; I only used three different positions as the demos above give you gist of it all.             


 

 



 

If you missed the opening, it's a chance to see all the marvelous work in the exhibition, Drawn, Quartered, Repurposed, which also features the work of Ginny Parsons, until October 28, 2022.

  1. When the dog bites
    When the bee stings
    When I'm feeling sad....
    I will simply think of Tom White's "Tumblers"!
