Background

About Guy Adamec

I make objects in order to interpret contemporary attitudes within the context of traditional forms and aesthetics. This includes working in several media and on a variety of projects; whether I am building a house, working in wood, making pottery or fabricating a mosaic from clay or glass, I want to convey a sense of natural beauty, harmony and balance, while retaining some mystery within the intricacies of the piece; so one does not easily tire of viewing it. I mainly work in clay because it allows me infinite control over form and surface while letting the piece have the spontaneity of a found object, as a rock, coral, or even desert landscape would. Art for me is a balance between man made and natural." Specialties: In pottery, I have a strong tie to functional ware, and produce a line of pieces reasonably priced and meant to be used. My non-functional "art" pieces are typically still vessel oriented. I try to build things;(houses, furniture, etc) that are environmentally sustainable. The public art installations are typically community based, with the public often participating in suggestions for the design, or sometimes even helping in the fabrication of the piece.
