“Thanking Durk and Sharp for keeping TOM House alive with Queer art, joy and optimism. I also want to thank Jose, Nick and Mark for all your work hanging this show, to Heidi, Edward, Champ, Catalina, Louis and Marti for everything you do to keep this unique institution going, to Loyalty for feeding us and to all the Volunteers who give their time and labour so we can all be here tonight. Thank you also to the other Artists-in-Residence, Sung Hwan, Michael Espinoza, Carlos Enfedaque, Oat Motien and Fausto.

Thank you to TOM’s Foundation for selecting me for this life-changing opportunity, and thank you all for being here.” –Ed Firth

“My intention is to create a body of work distinct to this moment in my life,
drawing on the surrounding architecture, flora and fauna,
and the people who cross the threshold of TOM House.”
