Tom Wilkinson has made mechanical sculpture and automata for museums, galleries and public spaces since 1991 with work sited all around the UK. Since 1999 he has worked on large public art projects for Yorkshire and Lancashire such as Magna Science Adventure Park in Rotherham and in the last few years he has been concentrating on wind powered sculpture, such as Light Air at Salisbury Hospital, it is the directness of wind energy particularly appealing. Stemming from an early fascination with illusion and movement, his work, drawing inspiration from astronomy and metaphysics, reflects the constant motions, cyclical patterns and kinetic energies that are universally present in our surroundings.

He is represented by Kinetica Museum (www.kinetica-museum.org) and also works as part of the group Arts Republic (www.artsrepublic.co.uk).
