The title ‘WAREHAUS’ comes from a nearby ‘unaffordable’ housing development. It is the start of new series of wall-mounted glass artworks offset form the backing – to offer a contrast between the graphic shapes and soft coloured shadows created.
Artist Tom Pearman has been commissioned by originalprojects; to design a presentation of a train enthusiast’s photographic collection as part of Great Yarmouth Expo, a project that collects and celebrates cultural artefacts, personalities and customs from the people of Great Yarmouth.
The display shows a small selection of photographs of trains taken by Mark Potton at Great Yarmouth Station taken over a 50 year period.
As with the ‘Planets’ series, ‘Orbits’ is the start of a larger project, referencing Andrei Tarkovsky’s film, Solaris (1971).
The new series expands the series into the realm of UFOs….
For a recent project application my proposal involved a sea side ice cream sculpture, providing information on the Wales Coastal Path…Let’s see how that is received and hopefully more news to follow….
This is a 15mb 25 page pdf file showcasing selected projects which can saved to your desktop.
For prospective clients a 2018 pdf catalogue has been made available. This will enable Pearman’s projects to be presented offering a synopsis of his practice.
I am currently making a series of maquettes for several potential public art commissions, based upon working with panel materials and presenting them in a three-dimensional configuration.
This will enable me to broaden my scope for working with a ‘flat’ bespoke materials, such as enamel and glass, and / or a combination of both. ‘TURNING THE FLAT AROUND’

As part of an ongoing graphic novel /e-book that I am developing, a trip to Seattle USA is planned, to visit the infamous Space Needle.
The theme of the short story is a hybrid “Wizard of Oz’ with an Ufo / sc fi twist! – more news to follow.
The large wall-mounted artwork is located on a prominent wall space within the development and has used particular colours and font with an Art-Deco style, to reflect the important period when there was significant infrastructure growth in Croydon. These signs and artworks are created using vitreous enamel on steel – this is the same material and technique that is still used today for signage utilised by the rail transport network in London, both overground and underground.
Tom has referenced folding train map pamphlets for the artwork which was also employed for a flyer distributed to local residents intorducing them to the project.
