Description
Working primarily with the human form, Sue Adams’ work explores the beauty and agony of the human experience. With a classical flair and contemporary execution, her sculptures and drawings explore themes of passion, pain, frailty and grace. Provocative, intense and sublime, her works invite a meditation on mind, body and soul. “Ultimately I am only trying to understand or grasp this concept called life,” she states.
