Tom Campbell
About the work
Tom Campbell traces muscle memories across history from Scottish kings and Sabahan chiefs to embed them through large-scale textile installations, poetry and performance. For the Canberra Art Biennial Tom will present a newly-commissioned series of archways at the National Arboretum, structures which invite the viewer to consider their own psychic or physical connections between places here and elsewhere.
