Mac Adams

Mac Adams (b. 1943 Brynmawr, South Wales) is an Internationally renowned sculptor. He studied at Cardiff College of Art before going on to Rutgers University. He is now a Professor at the State University of New York at Old Westbury, New York. He became a US citizen in 1990 but still keeps in touch with his Welsh roots.

Mac Adams' international reputation has grown over the last 30 years. His innovative use of light and shade in his sculptures play elaborate games with shadows and natural light. Recent public projects have even relied on the Sun's position to make fleeting figurative shadow images only visible at certain times of the day. His work is collected by dozens of large institutions, from the Chase Manhattan Bank and Microsoft to London's Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art New York.
