Curator’s Notes: ‘Tom Samek was a pure creative personality – with his practice always reflective of his passion for food, art, wine and everyday life that always had an element of wit and humour. Tom worked in many mediums, including drawing, printmaking, painting, mosaic, casting, tapestry and wood relief carving. He leaves behind a unique and prolific body of work.’
Over the summer, the QueenVictoria Museum and Art Gallery (QVMAG) in Launceston featured Making Space, an exhibition that showcased an array of carved objects; both historical and contemporary. Some of the pieces were drawn from the gallery’s extensive collection, whilst others were on loan from artists and collectors throughout the country.
Not all the artists were Tasmanian, however most have either lived there or have a strong connection to the landscape and its unique timbers. I was very happy to have some of my work included.
