This recent drawing by the sculptor Alice Adams continues her graphic exploration of organic forms using a unique style of chicken-wire line drawings on graph paper that she started making in the early 1960s. By about 1964, at the height of her success as weaver and fibre artist, Adams began to sculpt with industrial and machined materials, such as chicken-wire and chain-link fencing, rusted cable and telephone wire. That moment marked her turn from the world of ‘craft’ to that of abstract sculpture. Her drawings from this period are in pen and marker, and sometimes incorporate more than one colour, as this one. They relate closely to her extraordinary sculpture, Big Aluminum 2, shown in Lucy Lippard’s groundbreaking exhibition, Eccentric Abstraction, at the Fischbach Gallery, in 1966.
