ADAMS PURYEAR

<2017 installation/experimental artist-in-residence>

Adams Puryear attempts to process the clutter of contemporary life into physical 3D artworks.  In his practice he thinks about images moving over the Internet, performative sculpture, collaged media, power, comic books and different senses of loss.  He exhibits his arts regularly and is also the founder of FPOAFM Nomadic Studios: an experimental, project-driven craft collective that is engaged in contemporary craft and art discourse.  Adams currently lives and maintains a studio in Brooklyn, NY.

PURYEAR received a BFA in sculpture from Massachusetts College of Art in 2004 and an MFA in ceramics from Indiana University in Bloomington in 2012. He exhibits his arts regularly in NYC and abroad, and has been included in exhibitions at the Museum of Art and Design in NYC, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, the Icheon World Ceramic Center in Republic of Korea and Museum of Modern Art in Dominican Republic.  In 2006, Puryear founded FPOAFM Nomadic Studios: an experimental, project-driven craft collective that is engaged in contemporary craft and art discourse. Adams currently lives and maintains a studio in Brooklyn, NY.
