TOM BIRD:
Born in Wellington, Tom is currently living in Birmingham. Having studied an Art Foundation course in Birmingham before going on to gain a First Class BA Hons degree at Birmingham City University, Tom’s work seeks to give the viewer a new, different perspective through the medium of digital photography. His photographs often highlight the beauty that can be found in industrial settings such as the Queensway tunnel in Birmingham city centre. Tom says: “Most of my work removes the subject from its environment allowing pure focus in its entirety of that subject. Allowing colour, texture, form and shape to take precedence in the piece so that the subject almost falls to the back of the mind allowing its aesthetic to take over. It is this impact I want to have on a viewer, an alternative vision that they perhaps had never seen before.”
