Pat Adams: Then Found
November 1, 2017 - January 27, 2018
"These paintings yield more to qualities than ideas, more to matter than its naming. The work undertakes to celebrate “richesse” - a marveling rush of wonder at the sheer multiplicity and differentiations of stuffs. Surfaces of heightened materiality of encrusted and layered imprinting are generated to entangle attention, delay cognition, and - in that slow gaze - to open out interstitial reconfigurings such that other projective extensions of sense may be loosed into the reaches of the mind."
–Pat Adams, Pat Adams: Artist in Residence, Winter 1994, Paintings, Dartmouth College, 1994.
