“I seek compelling gestures to fit abstract ideas. The design of the animal ambiguously demonstrates emotion through form and gesture, provoking an intriguing interaction between it and the viewer.
Animals simply exist. They don’t require meaning. They are fully immerged in the present moment. Humans nominalize and intellectualize in a search for meaning where the true essence and beauty lie on an entirely separate plane.” Adam Matano

“Divinity” 2009 19”x16”x 8”
Divinity is a piece inspired by the disconnection humans sometimes have with nature and evolution. It touches on man’s conscience or unconscious desire to immortalize themselves by the amenities of society and possibly the afterlife. The face to face interaction between man, no longer hiding behind his intellect, and a large closely related ancestor is aimed to raise questions as to how close or how far we are from our roots and help us recognize our own mortality.

Contact Adam
I talked very briefly with you at the zoo over the weekend about doing a gorilla or Orangutan. I really would like a mountain gorilla on all fours
with a stern look on his face like he was about to attack you.
I would like it to be about 18-24″ tall.
I was curious on what it would cost and how long it would take?
Any info you can give would be appreciated
Hello Stuart nice to hear from you again. I will send you an email with an estimate on this project,
Adam
Hi Adam,
I love the giraffe in the tree!! I’ve never seen a giraffe displayed like that. My son says he looks human. The size is right too!
How much is he or she?
Hope you are doing well. Congratulations on your new business venture with the gallery.
Take care,
Paula
