The work of Thomas Watkiss largely deals with the relationship between industrial corrosion and organic life. This stems from a curiosity for how natural form develops over time, exposure to the elements and the confrontation with man/machine. The audience is met 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.
