Tom Hitchins: Driftwood and Found Objects - Opening Reception
The Exhibit
Based in Steuben, Maine, Tom Hitchins is a artist whose work is shaped by an established career in architecture across New Jersey and Maine. He applies a structural eye for geometry, line, and spatial design to his artistic practice, creating works that serve as a source of both joy and reflection.
With a focus on sustainability, Tom transforms found objects and discarded materials into new works that capture the spirit of Maine’s coastline, specifically focusing on Downeast boats, schooners, and airships. His style is characterized by a balance of technical precision and a distinctive touch of humor, charm and sharp wit.
From the Artist: “My creations are made largely from my finds on nearby beaches in Downeast Maine. I both hike and kayak to remote locations to find the bits and pieces that I assemble into a variety of objects and art.”
Medium: Furniture and art using driftwood, buoys and other found objects.
