In Making a Mould for a Mountain, Ron Adams presents a series of ink drawings informed by the surrealist tradition of Automatic Drawing in which a spontaneous and unpremeditated approach to line and rendering reveals latent imagery.
Surrealist artists believed that automatic drawing allowed them to access the intuitive or irrational aspects of their creativity, providing a direct link to the world of dreams and the unconscious.
In this exhibition, Adams brings together automatic drawings spanning 20 years, showing the multifaceted foundation of an abstract practice concerned with signs, symbols and word play.
