Venn Gallery, Perth
Tom Freeman, Formative
Tom Freeman’s exhibition Formative at Venn galley in Perth, WA concentrates on the Kettering library in the UK, where his grandfather was librarian in 1953.
These small-scale sculpture pieces were drawn from memories and feelings of his family history and a systematic order are present when you walk into the gallery space. Like our memories so are the fragile pieces carefully place and categorized. As I’ve walk pass these shelves a sense of calm and interest overcame me as if I am placed in another atmospheric state. The light in the space and the colour of the artwork work are so different from an actual library space but worked perfectly as if something happened and the mood was lifted.
This show was done with careful consideration to his history and memories and I’ve enjoyed every moment of it.
