Nature is always the focal point of Rune Bosse's artistic work. With a poetic, philosophical and scientific approach, Bosse studies the structures, patterns and attributes of nature, and through his artistic processing he shows how these relate both to man and to itself.

The idea that everything is connected through a certain logic consisting of nature, body and mind permeates Rune Bosse's work. In his work, connectedness is a prerequisite for everything to exist the way it does; it is about man's impact on nature, nature's impact on man and about nature's own impact on itself. - Nothing exists alone, but is part of a relational chain, in which each of the elements characterizes its surroundings. Then when Rune Bosse gently studies trees, roots, plants, sprouting grains, and withered leaves, it is an attempt to understand the very basic mechanisms of nature and see man in the light of this.

In dialogue with nature, Bosse works to collect variations of plant species and flora. He examines and dissects them, just to combine the elements in new and unseen ways; he exposes the individual elements, and lets the isolated plant skeletons and structures be the cornerstones for creating new lasting connections. It requires great perseverance, tenderness and precision to collect the material and discover new contexts and randomly occurring phenomena and the dialogue with the organic material is the starting point for his collection, which to a large extent forms as much of the work as the final result does. Bosse operates according to an imperative method, in that he, also through his process, tries to remind us of our inseparable connection to nature and our common and eternal primordial state. However, Bosse's orderly and scientific approach is always combined with a particularly poetic sensitivity. Several of his works are accompanied by poems that both frame and become a tool to summarize and define the direction of his studies, as well as to accompany our understanding of his results.

Rune Bosse's artistic practice is an extension of the Land Art movement, which emerged in the 1960s in the United States. The movement was based on Minimalism and Installation Art and was an attempt to bring art into nature and use nature as the material for the work of art. For both the Land Art movement and for Rune Bosse, change over time is an absolutely crucial concept. The natural processes that the materials and surroundings undergo become part of the work, and the time that can be concretely read in nature appears circularly; from fresh green sprouts and newly sprouted flowers to the wilting decay of autumn. The organic connections that Bosse installs, shares and assembles are about initiating a process that will only become apparent after some time - and in some cases not until many years from now.
