[ One of a Kind ]

In his one of a kind work, Thomas Mann experiments with larger scale found objects and new materials. These investigations have led to the Techno-Romantic Jewelry Objects and generate ideas for new work.

[ Sculpture ]

Thomas Mann was originally educated as a set designer in college and he still appreciates changes in scale from wearable art to displays of sculpture and vice versa. He creates sculpture objects such as teapots, mirrors, furniture, lighting and public art sculpture.
