We experience Adams’ work, its rhythms, as an ebb and flow—like bodies gently and continuously expanding and contracting with breath. In Where Water Meets Land (2022), more or less equal color planes are bordered by broad, dark-green intersecting lines. The delineated forms—a triangular base stacked with two quadrilaterals in the center, framed by three triangles on either side—suggest an aerial view of a rolling landscape. The composition is particularly angular, but not rigid: a slight convex movement gives a sloping appearance. And the horizontality suggested by the title is flipped, offering a different perspective on a familiar relationship.
