Tom Neill: Exaggerating the World

My name is Tom Neill, I am a third year undergraduate art studio and design student at UC Davis.

My art is centered around capturing and exaggerating the world that surrounds me.

I have become obsessed with creating surreal impressions of my own environment, personal experiences, and emotional states.

My art practice helps ground myself in the world around me.

Overall my art practice experiments with disturbing reality through absurdity as a tool for connection.
