About the Item

Christopher Adams, born in Medford, Massachusetts, in 1972, is a ceramist whose work intertwines art and science. He began exploring ceramics during high school and later graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University in 1994 with a B.A. in organismic and evolutionary biology. During his time at Harvard, he served as an artist-in-residence in their Ceramics Program. Adams furthered his education by earning a Doctor of Medicine from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 2004 and currently practices as a part-time dermatologist as well as an artist. His medical background profoundly influences his art, particularly in his attention to surface textures and forms. Adams's ceramic sculptures draw inspiration from biological concepts such as adaptive radiation, creating surreal, biomorphic forms that evoke both flora and fauna. His work has been showcased in solo exhibitions at venues including GarveySimon Gallery, Hosfelt Gallery, Ricco Maresca, Greenwich House Pottery (all in New York, NY) and Harvard University, Cambridge, MA. Notably, his pieces are part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York. Adams is represented by GarveySimon in New York City.

By Christopher Adams

Ceramic wall sculpture, organic form, modern decorative art.

Almost a Symphony
By Sherry Owens
Located in New Orleans, LA
Sherry Owens Almost a Symphony, 2019 Bronze, patina, brass nails, paint 16 5/8 x 12 1/4 x 11 3/4 inches For over 30 years, sculptor Sherry Owens has used the sinewy crepe myrtle tree to tell her story of the Texas landscape, death, renewal, beauty, and of today’s growing environmental concerns. Remnants of personal stories, visions and observations in nature are the driving forces in her work. She believes that what we see and do in our daily lives leaves a mark on our planet. It is the direct impact of human activities on the natural world, which is visualized in her artistic practice. She creates connections with nature using crepe myrtle trees found along the side of the road. Each stick is hand-carved and cut to fit, then laid in place and secured with a small myrtle peg. What takes precedence in the laborious process is the importance of detail and evidence of the artist’s hand and her interaction with the materials. Sherry Owens is a native Texan, currently living and working in Dallas, TX. She received a BFA from Southern Methodist University. Recent Texas solo exhibitions include The Grace Museum; Cris Worley Fine Arts; Martin Museum of Art; Art Museum of Southeast Texas; and a two-person site-specific installation at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum. She was also included in recent exhibitions at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, TX and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, LA. She has exhibited internationally in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Greece, India, Japan, Peru, and Turkey. Her work is currently on view in the Ground Zero 360 Remembrance Exhibition at the Museum of Biblical Art...
