Tobias Alm

Tobias Alm was born 1985 in Stockholm, Sweden and studied jewellery design at Ädellab, Konstfack. He graduated in 2009, and since then has been working in a workshop/studio in Liljeholmen, central Stockholm.
Tobias works mostly in jewellery art, but his work extends to sculpture. Currently he is working on a series of sculptures that will soon be exhibited in Vevring, Norway. Last summer Tobias Alm launched a new series of jewellery, that will be exhibited in a series of solo shows in 2012.

“My creative process has lately not been much about words or concepts. It often starts with exploring a shape or a material, which starts a flow of creation and research.
I am fascinated by improvisational methods, and believe in their power to take me the places a linear logic process cannot.
In my work I materialize experiences. I pick up features from things that surround me, and let them get reshaped and combined in interesting ways.
In previous work I have been interested in things such as organic structures and contrasting combinations. Lately it seems like I am fabricating a history, giving the objects traces of experiences from the past. I’m investigating how shapes can show traces of diffuse functions and history.”
