Alice Adams
b. 1930


Alice Adams (b. 1930, New York, NY) is an American artist known for her sculpture and site-specific land art in the 1970s, as well as her major public art projects in transit systems, airports, university campuses, and other urban sites throughout the United States beginning in 1986. 

Her earlier work in tapestry and woven forms was important in the American fiber art movement, as Adams focused on abstract, experimental presentations and materials. Adams' sculptures after 1968 explored the architectural elements of the wall, the corner, the column, and the vault. Continuing the use of flexible materials, she painted layers of latex on the old plaster walls of her studio, stripped them off, and  mounted the casts on two-by-four frameworks leaning against the wall. 

Alice Adams saw her practice as a way of drawing people into spaces seeming initially familiar, but later appearing new through the technique of defamiliarization, resulting in rediscovery. Adams used known, grounded building materials like wood lath, covering or partially covering frameworks to create free-standing partitions, columns, and vaults.
