Spaces and Places: The Mixed Media Work of Deidre Adams
”In my painting and mixed media work, I make abstract compositions with a concern for interesting divisions of space. Although abstract in design, my compositions often include elements evocative of structure, with vertical and horizontal divisions reminiscent of windows or doorways, or with strong horizon lines that reflect the idea of landscape. I’m inspired by images that others might consider ugly, such as manmade structures or machines abandoned and left to nature’s whims. I’m fascinated by change and transformation, things like rust and peeling paint, where surface layers are worn away to reveal what lies beneath, creating a new beauty in the process.”
Public Opening: Thursday, August 21, 5 - 8 pm;
show runs through September 12.
