The painting explores an idea about how our ancestors must have felt living in the caves of the Paleolithic era, whilst surviving in the harsh environment and traded their mined pigments. Throughout the history of humankind, tribes have traded with one another and in the area of Somerset one of the mined pigments traded was ochre. During these times of living in the cave systems, our visuals would have been influenced by the flickering flames of the fires keeping us warm and cooking our food, whilst producing shadows upon the walls of the cave, creating forms and anthropomorphic images leading to their capture in pigments from the earth transformed into paintings. This image plays with this ideas as well as the idea of recreating the natural forms of rocks and their structure using pigments Adam has chosen during his walks in the landscape and delving into the recesses, caves and cliff faces in and around Somerset and the world. This painting uses rock pigments collected from my walks and travels in the landscape of Somerset, Spain, Cyprus and Mexico. The rocks were collected during my walks and travels, turning into powder and using as pigment to create these small paintings exploring the accidental and incidental whilst listen to jazz.

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.
