Focusing on surface and texture, Deidre Adams creates stitched
and painted textile compositions with landscape and abstract geometric themes.

Artist’s Statement:
In my fiber and mixed media work, I create abstract compositions with a concern for interesting divisions of space. Although abstract in design, my work often includes elements evocative of structure, with vertical and horizontal divisions reminiscent of windows and doorways, or with strong horizon lines that reflect the idea of landscape.

Inspiration comes from things undergoing change: the side of an old building which has been painted over many times, with the top layers wearing away to reveal what lies beneath; a painted iron pipe exposed to salt air and revealing intricate patterns of cracking and rust; sites of construction or demolition with mysterious spray-painted markings accenting the richly varied materials either tossed hapzardly about or stacked in tidy rows. Graffiti or other markings reveal the urgent human need to leave a record of our existence. All of these provide a wealth of visual imagery that I draw on as influences in my work.
