Tom worked with local artists David Collins and Les Huddleston to explore the striking angle and silhouettes of some of the Top End’s most iconic natural and built structures – the Town Hall ruins, a banyan tree, a chair resting lazily beneath a palm tree, an elevated house, a water tower and a termite mound.

Tom’s distinctive minimalist colour palette consisting of red, black and white, represent a time in which he was living amongst developing communities and his daily drawings and art were the result of very scarce resources, including art material.
