"My work explores the signs/signifiers that mark our landscapes. Through the materiality of painting, drawing, and printmaking I embody the sense, shape and experience of discovering these markers. "
"My studio practice is peripatetic and reliant on objects that cross my path during my day-to-day travels. Once in the studio, through the manipulation of formal elements, I work to highlight how the markers are often tied to the various social, cultural, political and economic circumstances under which we labor. My translation of a marker becomes an investigation between manifesting a memory, legibility and illegibility. Therefore the work points to the enduring signifiers of shared space, double meanings/readings, and the residues of class while guiding viewers to recall their personal and collective memories." --Carris Adams
