Thomas Bosse combines traditional metalsmithing practice with the principles of relational aesthetics in order to produce work that catalogues the inception and life of handmade metal objects. By keeping intricate records of the process through detailed logs, video, and tool inventories, he documents the labor and time involved in realizing these objects. In this way, he seeks to bridge the gap between object and maker and inspire thought about the role of the handmade in today's society. Bosse has shown his work in numerous galleries across the United States and has received several awards, including the Tom Hollingsworth research grant. He is originally from Florence, SC, and received his undergraduate degree in art education from Winthrop University and his Masters of the Fine Arts degree from the University of Georgia. He currently teaches and lives in the Columbia area.
