The silhouettes are made from ply wood and are very carefully cut to maintain a high level of detail. Each silhouette is finely sanded to a smooth finish before being painted black. Many of the silhouettes have a white background which emphasizes the contrast of the silhouette |

| A silhouette is an image of an object or person showing only the outline and filled with a solid colour or black shadow to appear in profile. The name is derived from "Etienne de Silhouette 1709 to 1767," a French controller general of finance. He drew and cut by freehand shadow portraits out of black paper.
To day silhouettes are produced from many materials but Tom uses high quality wood. |
