Tom Lovelace is a British artist who lives and works in London. He studied photography at the Arts University Bournemouth from 2000-2003, followed by a postgraduate degree in Art History at Goldsmiths. Lovelace works in photography, sculpture and performance to reinterpret and reuse everyday objects, with a particular focus on what is perceived as familiar or unexceptional. He cites the concepts of repetition, minimalism and the history of photography as his inspirations.

A photogram is a camera-less work, usually made by placing an object in contact with a photosensitive surface in the dark, and exposing both to light. Where the object blocks the light, either partially or fully, its shadow is recorded on the paper. For this series, Lovelace has reimagined an unintentionally made photogram. The panels are sections of a notice board near a window in a library in Hackney. Over time, the notices that were pinned to the green felt backing created shapes of varying depth of colour, the surrounding areas bleached by the sunlight to create impressions of the notices. With this work, Lovelace challenges and questions what can be designated as a photogram.
