When Tom Climent started out on this new phase of work initially it was the notion of a house that interested him, the house as nucleus, the origin of architecture and of constructed space, the original shell that Bachelard speaks of.

This idea of a shell was one he wanted to investigate more; simple structural shapes and objects that could function as dwellings. These started to become symbolic for him in that he saw these structures as a kind of hut, a spatial place; physically located as the studio and mentally as the center from which his work comes.

This book catalogues a series of paintings and sculptures made by the artist between 2009 -2011.
