Mark von Schlegell: The New Children (A Tommy Støckel Timeline)
"Støckel's work is a pack horse of art historical references dressed up in a technological guise: classical sculpt ure, Renaissance perspective, cubism, still life, spacecraft, molecular and sub atomic structure. Unlike much
'sci-art' though, his work retains an integrity that does not rely on spurious claims of interdisciplinarity. His materials do not reflect space age possibilities, his imagery is not culled from electron microscopes and his processes are not the result of any liberal, cross-campus collaboration. Støckel uses paper and card, polystyrene and glue; more a model maker's vocabulary than a research scie ntist's. Th is hobbyist aesthetic echoes the increasing accessibility of science to the lay community." (from Strange Attractors by Sally O'Reilly)
