This print explores the observation of a still life object of a rock collected from the beach of Watchet in West Somerset. The zinc etching captures the form of the rock that was collected from a walk around the town of Watchet and drawn over a period of time, observing the shifting light and shadows over a period of time. The image has been called Coleridge Red as the rock itself is a red colour and is related to Samuel Taylor Coleridge due to his visits to the town of Watchet during his long walks along the West Somerset landscape from Nether Stowey. The drawing of this rock follows the principles of Samuel Coleridge's philosophy of art, coming to the making of a work of art through not having a pre-determined idea, allowing the flow of the image to evolve over time, gradually, forming a Romanticist ideal of creativity.

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.
