JANE ADAM

Jane Adam is internationally known for her innovative work in anodised aluminium, which she has been selling and exhibiting in Britain and abroad since she left the Royal College of Art in 1985. Her work is represented in collections such as the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York, the Crafts Council and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the National Museums of Scotland.
She loves using colour and pattern, and her work has been influenced by her travels in India, as well as by the forms and colours of embroidered textiles, carpets, fish or shells. She enjoys contrasting the immediacy and richness of the decorated surface with simplicity of form, function and structure, and the coolness of aluminium.
Her Jewellery is made of anodised aluminium and silver. Anodising is an electro-chemical process which gives the metal a hard, transparent surface layer of aluminium oxide. This layer is colourless, but can absorb certain dyes and inks. These colours are then chemically sealed into this tough surface and cannot chip, flake or peel off.
Through constant experimentation, she has found that this material offers an enormous wealth of possibilities for surface decoration by painting, printing in various ways, drawing, overdyeing, etc. She enjoys the way that spontaneous marks become a permanent part of the metal's surface.
