For this exhibition I will be looking to create a single site-specific sculptural piece that will take up a large portion of the room. I hope for this work to be somewhat representative of my practice, as a hybrid that sits somewhere between painting and sculpture. In this case, the work presents itself as a sculpture whilst still remaining firmly rooted within painting tradition.

Tom Squires has been working with words on page for the past six years. Before then he made a series of paintings/objects. The work included in this exhibition is the key text produced during this writing period (late 2003 - 2009). The work is an image of the world, or total situation, as through the eyes of * an idea of a zero point of art (which itself takes as its model the idea of parallel universes taken to the point of nothing in particular). Tom is currently working on a large scale painting/object based work, which is based on the last work and suicide of an untranslated nineteenth century German philosopher.
