Tom Budding (@tom.budding ) is one of the artists based in our Forest Park studios.
“After launching his seminal Hackney history shop, and producing sculptures for several international artists, Budding has deepened his interest in local history, using sculpture as a vessel for narrative. He uses the medium to tell lost histories, letting sediment based failure and latency in the material give depth and authenticity to the forms. His recent ‘Haca’ sculpture is on view in the belfry of the medieval tower of St Augustine’s at Hackney Central.”
