Jim Adams

Pods, bones, seeds and stones are some of the images
that speak of birth, life, loss and hope in the drawing,
painting and sculpture of Jim Adams. Using metal, stone,
glass and other mediums Jim selects materials based on their
contribution to the overriding narrative of his work.

In a process that requires a meditative awareness of the moment, Jim allows a dialogue between himself and materials that develops into the things he makes. “When I begin making something, it is an instant where memories, materials, emotion and time converge and intertwine to become a tangible representation of something that would otherwise be abstract.”

Though Jim’s work might be considered abstract, he insists that each piece is part of a greater story in which human and natural interaction is considered. He lives with the philosophy that all things are connected and have impact on everything around them. His story speaks of journeys worth taking, events worth recalling and lives worth living.
