Grace Adam

My work is about objects, places and spaces. I make temporary interventions, often in public or shared spaces, and work across drawing, painting, sculpture and installation. I am interested in our environments; how we build, negotiate, use them; in what we put in them, and their messages. Readymade, mass-produced, commemorative; luxury, ephemera, trash, ordinary- rich and fascinating. Reimaging and subverting sensible objects can change their meanings and our assumptions. Pieces hover between built, un-built and grown. Appropriation of familiar, mundane materials and techniques into another context, allows us to see again the plain, the overlooked, the grotesque, the ordinary.
