ABOUT THE WORK

A Remote Dawn
"Adam Derums' work is a derision of absolute materialism. In Derums' world, matter is experienced not as an end point, or accumulation of dead weight (as inert) but rather as a possibility of an event. For Derums, matter is the result of an energetic catastrophe, a cataclysmic occurrence that bares the soul of creation, the atom exploding, the orgasmic appearance of life, the rupture of darkness...light out of dark, form from poetic vision".
- Ric Spencer
