Story behind Oddments

Date

2026

Location

London, UK

The art installation "Oddments" by Tomomi Tomlin embraces imperfection and the search for new belonging, transforming wood offcuts inspired by her grandfather’s Japanese furniture workshop into reflective pieces. Through this work, she explores shifting borderlines between what is considered desirable and undesirable, reflecting on belonging from her experience living far from her roots.

The sculpture works were created from wood offcuts and found objects gathered around the artist's studio. Hidden writings became parts of the sculpture and invite viewers to contemplate.
