Movie Interview
"I've been working in foundries on pieces in bronze, clay, and wood. My models are people from a bygone era. I am attracted to the way that they held themselves and dressed. For the last 10 years, I found paper a suitable medium for my bas-reliefs."
- Tom
On January 23, 2021 with the help of my sister Fredi and friend Gus Moran, we visited Tom's home. His niece Wendy Scippa made arrangements for us to do the photo and database log. We documented 93 works of art. This was by no means everything, but enough to show that Tom was a profound artist in his extensive esthetic discovery. The quiet nature of his voice becomes powerful as evidenced by persistent statements of modest individuality.
