Bio

Adam Holland is a multi-media observationalist whose work attempts to highlight both the micro- and macro-intricacies of living systems. Careful research of place and material are integral to understanding what must be analyzed and communicated. Over half a decade of experience as a mason in New England have been foundational in guiding the sensibility of his practice. Adam received a BLA in Architectural Studies and Studio Art from UMass Lowell and a MFA in Studio Art with a concentration in sculpture from SUNY New Paltz.

Adam has exhibited work at Unison Arts Center in New Paltz several times, WAAM in Woodstock, and most recently at The Painting Center in New York City. He will participate in the upcoming 15th Annual International Art of the Book & Paper at Rochester Public Library. He continues to seek alternate spaces for sharing his work outside of contemporary art settings, like libraries or arboretums.

His current research maintains a focus on white-tailed deer with occasional deviation towards in-between spaces in anthropocentric environments. He is actively refining his hunting skills, servicing his Volvo, and seeking a community where he can be both builder and friend. Adam lives in East Boston and still works, occasionally, as a mason across Massachusetts.
