This zinc etching is a combination of the male figure and the observation of a rock collected from Cyprus. the images have been worked and reworked with stylus and Edinburgh Etch acid mix on a zinc plate. The ink is handmade using a mineral from Bideford, known as Bideford Black [a mineral used for a variety of products including boat paint, during the war era and mascara]. The mineral has been mixed with a block printing medium and applied to the plate, which has been pressed through a FOME hand printing press. The image gives the appearance of a rock or rocky surface, whist containing parts of the human figure. The title is inspired by Franz Kafka's poem Prometheus, where the pain of the Eagle's peacking at Prometheus' liver was so great that he sought solace by pushing deeper into the rock until he became rock itself. [Sold with a mount frame, backing board and sealed in a polypocket for protection]

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.
