The show continued themes Adams has been pursuing for a several years, and included images both abstract and concrete. Photographic in nature, the works in Adams’  series are figurative and portrait-based, printed on unusual media and wrapped in glossy plastics that both obscure and enhance each image.

“What unites them is the idea of the art object as a reflection of the artist,” Adams says. “When we look at art, what do we see?  Does it tell a story?  Does it have a narrative?  Does it reveal truths or obscure them?  Does what we see have any greater meaning than what we see?”
