Adams' work combines a variety of mediums to craft an animated world populated by pseudo-educational characters. A preoccupation with consumer objects and their presumed demographic posturing, particularly in an urban context, informs his practice of reconfiguring familiar items to expose their persuasive and often duplicitous nature. Learning functions as both subject and object in Adam's works that derive from “impressionable experiences associated with iconography from American culture,” gleaned from adults, education, the mall, and “mostly from television.” He fashions a small society within an animated world by scripting performative identities through costumes and environments that are frequently reversed (interior/exterior, front/back), manifesting the two-sided nature of seemingly neutral objects.
An addition to his exhibition history Adams’ taught at various institutions and has lectured and served on various panels. He was also founding Director of Rush Arts Gallery (Chelsea, NY) 1996 a core program of the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation, a 501(C)3 organization started by brothers Russell, Danny and Joseph "Rev. Run" Simmons dedicated to providing urban youth with significant exposure and access to the arts, as well as providing exhibition opportunities to artists. In 2009 Adams left Rush Arts Gallery to start Bingeonline.com a destination appealing to the aggressive culture consumer. Developed as a means to highlight those emerging from art, design, music and fashion, BINGE will also focus attention on politics, social scenes and consumer goods.
