Tom is a ceramic artist that reflects on several areas of interest and is able to combine them all into one form. One example of this is the function of the vessel as a abstract sculpture form and its many associations, both of which are literal and metaphoric. Pattern and color is another idea that he wants to get in his pieces as well. Tom does this to create various feeling or impressions. The third interest is integration of surface pattern, which he does with the thickness of the wall so they can be viewed from the outside and the inside of his vessels. He use a degree of illusion in the pieces through color and pattern with the combination of both the flat modulating surface of the pot and the real depth that is present in the interior space. He also concerns himself with not only how his pieces look in three dimensions but in two dimensions as well.
