Shredded and Pulped Slavery Lists, Indentured Contracts and Financial Logs with embedded Raven Lino Print in Handmade Willow Ink on Sifted Willow Ash. The artwork explores the use of slavery and indentured contracts to force the poor, homeless and prisoners to work on the tobacco fields of Virgina in the 1600s. White slavery is something not talked about today, yet it was through this form of servitude the gateway was gradually opened to African slavery later on. The poor, homeless and prisoners from the 15th to 17th Century England and Ireland were shipped to Chesapeake and worked on the tobacco fields as indentured slaves, working with the promise of land after their contracts - yet most of the servants either died on the way to the fields or during their toil working up to 16 hours a day. The Raven has been a symbolic bird for many centuries. It has been blamed for not returning back to the Ark and so was punished by being turned from white to black and feed on carrion; seen as a creator god who found men and women, bringing them together; It was a messenger of Odin, both representing Thought and Memory; It was believed to carry the souls of murdered souls awaiting justice; A modern symbol in movies and stories as a precursor to death. Muninn represents memory of the slaves and indentured servants from England and Ireland to work the tobacco fields.

My work currently explores fragility through layering and entropy. It responds to history, memory, the landscape and the human condition. These semi-abstract glimpses are drawn from observation when travelling, gathering images through sketching, photography and my memory. Paintings are layered over time as expressive moments of colour, line, print, masking, text, scrawled marks and memory. These form multi-layered paintings that are sanded back, revealing sections from the previous layers, now interacting with one another as a memorialised glimpsed journey. These journeys are inspired by research I’ve pursued from 2013-16. When attending residencies in Cyprus and Spain, I began re-exploring my relationship with the landscape; local and national histories; mythology; geology; pigments; various visiting cultures, their religions, and entropy. These ideas eventually lead to an interest in the effects of imperialism (2017), slavery (2018), lost generations (2019), the suffragette and civil rights movements (2020—21), other obscured histories and the culturally ignored (2022-present). Many aspects of these intersect and juxtapose with one another within my work, expressing memorial observations of history and landscape. These seek to enable an opportunity to investigate and explore previously obscured histories, through this form of landscape painting. *********************** Adam has travelled around the world delivering workshops and attending residencies in India, Mexico, Spain and Cyprus.
