ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Artist Tom Anderson created the rich shapes, colors, and textures of Time Piece through the application of chemicals and paints to recycled copper. Speaking about these materials as they relate to his creative process, Anderson notes "all the elements combined, physically as well as metaphorically, are among the tools I use to continually re-invent and express the dynamics of my own life as well as to hopefully reflect to the viewer the dynamics and emotion of their own spirit."
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Northshore School District.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Olympia, Washington-based artist Tom Anderson creates prints, paintings, metalworks, and mixed-media constructions. In his own words, "I am usually not thinking so much about a finished work, but am inspired, accepting and mystified by the process of creating it."
In 1971, Anderson earned an Associate of Arts degree from Clark College in Vancouver, Southwestern Washington. In 1973, he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Asian art and philosophy at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Western Washington.
