Adam's Industrial Wasteland I created this page to give my friends an inside scoop on what I do. Take a peek every now and again to see whats new in my world. Discovery. But it's hiding.

I have always been a curious person. A deep thinker, a loner at times. I get swallowed up, lost in my own head. But, I'm not a introvert or a hermit. I love life and people and animals and living. When I get to that point, the same thing always brings me back. Something catches my eye, or ear. Like when your starving but your so busy you don't notice. Until you catch a wiff of something delicious and your stomach starts talking. You get that rush, that flood of emotion. All the sudden, life is worth living again. Beauty is all around you and you can feel it, smell it. Like a hot pie on a window sill a block away. I love that feeling. Nothing gives me a thrill like discovering something new. It doesn't have to actually be something new, just new to me. Ware and tare is beautiful to me. It tells a story. Anything built to last that has been put to the test and is tried and true. With the scars to prove it. I am fascinated by the art of survival. I never understood why people are so quick to throw away. Constantly buying cheap crap that doesn't last so they can afford to replace it with newer cheap crap as often as possible. That's how I ended up designing these pieces. I was fed up with the push to live in this modern bubble where we are force fed polished turds and told it's filet mignon. My art is a reflection of myself. I am a survivor. I am scarred and flawed and beautiful. And I don't quit. "To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it. To do a dangerous thing with style is what I call art."-Charles Bukowski. Stop playing it safe. Who cares what your conservative friends think. Be original. Get your hands dirty. Create.

Bathtub caddy tray I made as a gift for . Black walnut/white oak/sugar maple. Finger joints for the soap tray platform.

Desk lamp I made a few years ago. Clear glass and brown ceramic insulator from my collection. I bought a collection of insulators from the widow of an electrician that worked quite a bit on telephone poles over the years and saved all kinds of glass and ceramic insulators. Some interesting ones I’ve never seen, maybe I’ll post later. Got quite a few, maybe 100. The base is reclaimed old growth pine from some basement shelves in an old house. Brass parts from an old lamp. Copper parts, braided wire and switch bought new from . Great company from Ohio for lamp parts and other modern vintage looking goods.
