Greg Adams - Assemblage Artist

Artist's Bio and Statement

BIO:

Native San Franciscan, Greg Adams was influenced by his father, an avid recycler, Hal Foster’s Prince Valiant comic strip and Gordon Grant’s maritime book, Sail Ho.
Upon discharge from the Navy (1975), he obtained a “Merchant Mariner’s Document” and returned to sea briefly, then used the Veteran’s GI Bill to study at the San Francisco Academy of Art school (1977-1982).
In 1988, he was hired as a “wire rope cable splicer” at the San Francisco Cable Car Barn where he made several rope work display boards, receiving mention in Herb Caen’s newspaper column.
While attending classes at the Fort Mason Art Center, he took up Assemblage, making up pieces from found materials. He is currently still present on the waterfront, working as a volunteer aboard the historic vessel Jeremiah O’Brien at Pier 35 in San Francisco.
Most materials used in these pieces come from the San Francisco dump. Some off of the city’s streets. Repurposing discarded material for new uses has long been a family tradition, with my father being my first instructor.
All pieces are made using methods long taught at art academies. Drawing is a large part of any piece made, as this trains the eye in observation and positioning of shapes which will result in an interesting piece to view.
