Bradley Corso is a sculptor/design based artist who splits their time between sculptural works in bronze and jewelry works in bronze and silver. They are currently senior artisan for bollinger atelier in tempe, arizona. Corso holds an MFA from the University of Wisconsin Madison, and is originally from Twin Lakes Wisconsin and now resides in Mesa, Arizona. Corso holds a keen interest in material qualities and the processes that bind them. Their main goal is to achieve elegance through mundane channels, and to accentuate the beauty that is the human form.

Collection concept:

My current works focus heavily on introspection. Being fairly new to making wearable pieces, I’ve found myself applying my background in sculptural form in ways I hadn’t thought to create before. I arrived at creating smaller works from dealing with some health issues, and working small allowed me to focus, concentrate, and take me somewhere where things were just beautiful and the steps, though challenging, were simple. A place that allowed me to begin a piece and finish it with all of the resolve that large scale sculpture had provided me in times passed. Within that, and along the way, I’ve come to sincerely appreciate how loudly a well crafted ring can speak and how these types of items can become ingrained in our daily lives and personal identities. To be responsible in crafting a piece that someone someday resonates with enough to engage with it daily is a privilege that I hope to share.
