On the "WAY" fun side ... Tom Moore

A true new artist in every sense of the word - Tom Moore - looking at all of the modern possibilities of expressing himself - object, photography, video ... a colorful land of adventure and out-there fantasy.

Moore’s glass blowing expertise enables him to create a plethora of hybrid personalities. His works definitely never suffer from a sense of the predictable. His anthropomorphism's have closer links to the illuminating world of illustrated children’s stories, where nothing is impossible - defying gravity and melting the coldest heart.

Glass PYROGRAPHS and Etsuko Ichikawa

My work is a continuing investigation of what lies between the ephemeral and the eternal. I work with a range of materials, in particular glass, paper, and thread, and in various scales including large installations.

Moment and memory, absorption and evaporation, light and shadow are some of the triggers that inspire me and relate to my work. My “glass pyrograph” drawings are made by imprinting hot glass onto paper, which is one way to capture and eternalize the immediacy of a moment, while my hanging and floating installations are about ever-changing states of mind. Born and raised in Japan and having lived in the United States for over the last decade, I recognize my dual cultures as defining influences and psychology as my primary source of inspiration.
