Tom Foulsham is an artist working in sculpture, performance and installation. His work explores how things can appear fixed and stable while everything that makes them up remains in continual motion. With precarious balances and movement, Tom reveals fragility and change and looks at our acceptance of what appears permanent. He considers how our participation sustains the illusion of stability, allowing the everyday to appear beyond our influence.
His large scale live performance B♭ Minor Arrangement for 3 Musicians and 1300 Meters unsettles the everyday. Performed at the London Contemporary Music Festival 2022, simultaneity and everyday cohesion slipped apart as trumpeters moved across the River Thames.
Tom uses the form of a house to represent what is seen as stable. Little House 2025 quietly resists fixed form, as inside becomes outside in continuous motion. Unraveling from within, flowing through itself remaining liminal.
