This painting explores various ideas associated with travel; landscape; plaids; stripes; lost generations and layering of history. These layers of paint that have been laid on top of one another, rubbed back, erased, sanded back, painted over and more seek to reveal the fragility of information, how easy this can be obscured, lost, hidden, weathered, erased etc. This has been further highlighted by the obscured writing of a thought inscribed on the first layer of acrylic: 'Sometimes I wonder how different the world might have been had European countries not found the New World and subjugated the North, Central and South Americans into slavery and indentured contracts leading to a loss of wisdom and knowledge'. These words highlight how different the world might have been had things been so different when Europeans circum-navigated the world, seeking new lands and trade routes. Important to remember the lost knowledge and wisdom of those gone in the space of a short timespan due to disease, control, slavery etc. and the destruction of their books/ codexes/ ancient ones. The fragility of knowledge and life. [This painting was originally an entry for the Evolver magazine cover prize]

My work currently explores fragility through layering and entropy. It responds to history, memory, the landscape and the human condition. These semi-abstract glimpses are drawn from observation when travelling, gathering images through sketching, photography and my memory. Paintings are layered over time as expressive moments of colour, line, print, masking, text, scrawled marks and memory. These form multi-layered paintings that are sanded back, revealing sections from the previous layers, now interacting with one another as a memorialised glimpsed journey. These journeys are inspired by research I’ve pursued from 2013-16. When attending residencies in Cyprus and Spain, I began re-exploring my relationship with the landscape; local and national histories; mythology; geology; pigments; various visiting cultures, their religions, and entropy. These ideas eventually lead to an interest in the effects of imperialism (2017), slavery (2018), lost generations (2019), the suffragette and civil rights movements (2020—21), other obscured histories and the culturally ignored (2022-present). Many aspects of these intersect and juxtapose with one another within my work, expressing memorial observations of history and landscape. These seek to enable an opportunity to investigate and explore previously obscured histories, through this form of landscape painting. *********************** Adam has travelled around the world delivering workshops and attending residencies in India, Mexico, Spain and Cyprus.
