David Adamo
Dicecream Magazine🗿David Adamo is known for minimalist installations of wooden utilitarian objects, whittled down to fragility and accompanied by piles of wood shavings.
Untitled (Music for Strings IV)(2010), for example, pairs a wall-lodged sledgehammer with darts, spindly canes, and a deconstructed violin case.
Other works comprise baseball bats, axes, knives, and other typically masculine implements, which have earned him a reputation for violence that he refutes:
“I don’t necessarily think about aggressive things when I’m in the studio…although I do work myself into a sort of frenzy,” he said.
