July 11 – August 8, 2013
The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present the work of Massachusetts-based artist Christopher Adams. This work represents the culmination of his 10-month residency at Greenwich House Pottery. Christopher is a prolific artist whose work focuses on flora and fauna exhibiting a mastery and affinity of material and glazed surface.
“My ceramics work relates intimately to my interests and experiences outside of art. Much of my formal background to date has been in the sciences, with a special emphasis on natural history. Most of my ceramic works fall into the category of “organic abstraction.” The pieces are influenced by, and may suggest, a variety of creatures, but none of them represent any specific organism. Instead, the works usually play on biological concepts – speciation, convergence, mimicry – to generate aesthetic novelty.” – Christopher Adams
