Tim Moore was born in the England in 1974. He grew up in a small village in Norfolk. He moved to Australia in 2001 and now lives and works in Sydney. Moore completed a Bachelor of Three Dimensional Design (Hons) at Brighton University, England in 1998. Moore’s relationship with embroidery began on the long flight from England to Australia. Having left his drawing materials at home by mistake, he found that the only available art materials were the in-flight sewing kit, which he used to embroider four sick-bags.
Humour is an important aspect of Moore’s work, and he grew up with a mother who also had a strong sense of humour. Moore’s father was a painter. Comedy is often
about the transgression of social boundaries, and Moore’s works are characterised by cheeky, playful and revealing images.
