Born 1972 in Dorset UK.
Tom Barnetts current practice centres around 'firing projects'. At the core of these projects is the ritual firing of a sculpture of a specific building that is internally structured to channel and contain heat like a kiln. These spectacular public events in specific communities, often involving other artists, offer an opportunity to both question and celebrate architectural form and significance.
