Sculpture : Framed Construction

I use the materials of construction to reveal the process of construction. I’m creating a conversation between art, and construction. We often take for granted the work and labor that went into our homes, and are ignorant to those lives that inhabited them before us. I started this series when my father was hospitalized, and I learned he helped build the room he was in. A family member noticed a painting of a boat hanging on the wall and said “Adam you should make work like that, thats art.” I thought to myself the wall behind it was more artistic, because the man in the room built it.
