Creative lockdown: Tom Stockley
Tom Stockley is part of the ongoing Bristol24/7 Creative Lockdown series, showcasing how people in Bristol have been getting arty under lockdown.
Queer creative Tom Stockley has been collaborating with artists across the country during lockdown.
#pandemicpoems is a collection of poetry written in the time of the Covid-19 pandemic, with responses by artists from across the UK.
Performing under the alias TS IDIOT, Tom has written three poems of his own during the crisis, with the poem Quarantine Realness featured on BBC Upload. Tom says: “That piece is part of my #pandemicpoems project – written and recorded pieces that other artists are responding to with their own. It’s been a really joyful way of staying connected with everyone so far.”
