Tim Tokley is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher based in London with a practice concerned with literary influence, the notion of art as a record and the development of professional research, which informs an ongoing interest in pedagogy.

His current work explores the narratives of places and people contextualised by modern history and literature. Most recently, the foreshore of Mersea Island, which is found in the artist's home county of Essex. The landscape is examined using 16mm film, focusing on ecological changes and the enduring relationship between humans and oyster shells.
