While studying, decomposing and reforming objects from daily life, I create sculptures by merging different elements that are inspired by mass production and medieval craftsmanship. I construct sculptural objects by applying a wide range of techniques, from designing elements to manufacturing them using digital techniques such as laser cutting, CNC milling and 3D printing.
At This art Fair, I am presenting an installation with new sculptural objects. These objects might look familiar at first, but I invite you to take a closer look. In my work, elements of mass production and craftsmanship are brought together as an attempt to activate the viewerâs imagination and question their everyday associations.
Tom Putman (1994) studied Fine Art at AKI ArtEZ Enschede and currently lives and works in Utrecht.
