About

Thomas McIntyre was born and raised in Virginia and now resides in Chicago, IL. In 2023 Thomas received a BFA with a concentration in architecture and sculpture from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His practice is rooted in design methods and informed by craft techniques. These methodologies lead him into visceral material explorations, often culminating in ironic personified furniture objects. Thomas works between ceramic, metal, wood, and prefabricated industrial materials. There is particular attention paid to craftsmanship and function, as well as an interest in exaggerating utility to a place of absurdity.
