Tom Holmes is an artist, sculptor and musician living and working in the NEPA Valley. "I am drawn to working in the six elements of stone, metal, wood, light, ice and water. It gives me the ability to work intuitively. All possibilities can exist briefly, before I impose parameters with regard to my emotional and intellectual contexts." The undercurrents of natural decay, unity, duality, symmetry, space, time and dimension are at the heart of Holmes' creative energy. "I work seasonally. Different seasons suggest different types and elements of my work. I love the crisp colds of zero or below for icing in the winter. The summer brings outdoor work and construction, waterfalls and stonework. Spring and fall are transition times that tie the year together with welding, sand blasting and finishing."
