Renee Adams makes sculptures of creatures that resemble UFOs, wedding cakes, early 19th century industrial machines and koosh balls. “Using both natural and artificial materials,” the artist writes in her statement, “I create imaginary hybrid species that are delicate, alluring, and sometimes awkward or disturbing. I am interested in blurring lines, creating the indefinable, and manipulating the senses; leaving the viewer without a point of reference.”
Mission accomplished. Adams points to the drawings of German biologist Ernst Haeckel as visual inspiration; Haeckel’s fiendishly detailed studies of jellyfish and other creatures have a color sense and adherence to detail that pops up gloriously in Adams’ work. Both influencer and influencee are worth a long look.
