Thomas completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Pittsburgh (’03) and his graduate work at Konstfack University of Art and Design in Stockholm (’06). He has completed independent and professional residencies in Göteborg, Sweden (’03) and in Bergen, Norway (’08). He is a 2009 stipend recipient of the Bergen Council. Thomas now lives and works in New York City.
The work of Thomas Watkiss greets an audience with an experience of foreignness and vulnerability--allowing for their own imagination, curiosity (and even fears) to lead them. Both his visual and sound works go without human presence, only to focus on organic manifest of form by degrees of growth, decay and time. Simultaneously, he is not short of releasing blunt visual statements or social critiques in constantly alienating the role of man in his work.
