Alamogordo, New Mexico, August 23: For the month of September, John B. Adams, Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at NMSU-Alamogordo, will have his sculptures on display at the Townsend Library. John has spent his free time the last few years developing new ways to use ceramics in larger scale work. John came here from the East Bay, which is about 50 miles East of San Francisco and over the hills from Berkeley. He had a Design Studio in Berkeley for many years and a sculpture studio in Benicia where Robert Arneson and Manuel Neri worked and lived occasionally.
John's passion for the human figure has inspired most of his figurative sculptural work. He has tried to expand on the concepts of realism by developing abstract representations of the human form.
Much of his work has been created in small scale, for private collections. But he has designed larger scale sculpture for public art, commercial properties and residential sites. John currently sculpts in stone, steel, wood, bronze and ceramics.
There will be a reception to meet the artist on Wednesday, September 12, 2007, from 3:00-4:00 PM, at the Townsend Library, New Mexico State University campus at 2400 North Scenic Drive.
For more information and commissions: call 505.921.1100
