Tom Blake is included in the Dobell Drawing Biennial at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
Working across drawing, sculpture, and installation, Tom expands drawing beyond the page, exploring memory, perception, and the ways images are translated and reimagined.
The Biennial presents an ambitious group of works by Tom, including a series of cyanotypes, de-silvered mirrors, and etchings, reflecting his innovative approach to the medium and the possibilities of drawing as a space for experimentation, transformation, and new ways of seeing.
Tom’s practice draws on fragmented moments, looped imagery and recurring motifs connected to water and streams as potential sites for contemplating forms of time, language and the psychological and architectural frameworks that surround us.
Tom’s work has been presented at Artspace, KNULP, Firstdraft, Institute of Modern Art (IMA), Carriageworks, AGNSW, AGWA, AGSA, Art Fair Tokyo, Walyalup Fremantle Arts Centre, SPRING1883, PICA, Fremantle Biennale, Goolugatup Heathcote, the Antarctic Pavilion (Italy), Taipei THAV, and Tenjinyama (Japan). Tom has undertaken residencies with FAC, PICA, TAFE, Tenjinyama Art Studio, Museo de Arte Moderno (MAM) Chiloé, Megalo, Artsource, Parramatta Artists’ Studio and has previously been awarded a Clitheroe Foundation Mentorship. In 2021, A.P.E published BAUXIDE, an artist book by Tom and Dominique Chen, commissioned as part of the Lost Rocks series and now held in the Beinecke Library Collection (Connecticut, USA).
