Tom Abba makes collages, photographs, and prints. His work is concerned with landscape as a site of pressure — what accumulates in a place, what a place withholds, and the ways in which the visual record of somewhere can be accurate and entirely misleading at the same time.

Recent series include Cosmic, a body of large-format collages exploring geological time and astronomical scale; Folk Horror, twenty-six square collages drawn from British vernacular imagery and edgeland sites; and Undercurrents, a sequenced series of archival prints concerned with water and the body.

A parallel practice in photographic documentation and artists’ books runs alongside the studio work. This includes Antiquities, an ongoing photographic inventory of found and inherited objects treated as archaeological finds, and Photopoetry, experiments in combining photographic images and poetic text as a single visual unit.
