Artist Biography:
Thomas Givens is inspired by the character of the wood or the environment - each work is homage to nature. He did get a BA in graphic design and visual communications from Lynchburg College in 1986. His philosophy for his art is, don’t use any more material than is necessary. I feel guilty about the imprint we Americans make, probably all humans, but we’re just better at it. We have more resources and more money to abuse. I just hate to see stuff go far away to the dump unnecessarily. Be nice and don’t waste. And have fun.
Artist Statement:
All of my sculptures are created largely (or wholly) from reclaimed materials. Some is mill waste and some is harvested locally from construction clearing. I get some wonder lumber from logs that would be burned, hauled to the dump or just left to rot. I get thrills building something beautiful from trash.
