Focus on Faculty
Looking closely at garden 65J: gr()nd, the viewer sees that it is composed of tiny cells in pencil that multiply into organic shapes. Stepping back from the piece, the cells begin to coalesce into roughly symmetrical arrangements across four joined pieces of paper. Garden 65J: gr()nd is one of a group of new drawings by associate professor of art J. Bradley Adams. Adams’s engagement with disparate disciplines, apparent in his art, complements his teaching in the liberal arts environment at Berry. He teaches courses in painting, drawing, design, and printmaking, which mirror his practice as an artist. He also makes artist's books, utilizes digital media and photography, and creates site-specific installations. When he is not teaching or in his own studio in the Moon building, Mr. Adams can be found training for a 10K, looking for new slow cooker recipes to make, or tending his garden.

Student Spotlight
Taylor Clark, a senior art major with a studio concentration, recently returned from an inspiring semester abroad in Florence, Italy where her goal to become an independent jewelry maker was solidified. The ring shown, made of sterling silver and Baltic amber, was one of her pieces selected to exhibit in Florence’s “Art in the Streets” show. Taylor, who graduates in May, is eager to begin her own independent jewelry business.
