Show Notes
One of the things that really strikes me is that he is creating scenes of people being joyful. Adams says that part of the appeal of being an artist is getting to create the environments you would like to see and experience. I also think that there is something really nice about normalizing and even elevating fun and celebration. My guest this week was Goldie Robinson, an art teacher out of Atlanta. She was my guest on a previous episode about Alexander McQueen, and when I talked with her about coming back on the podcast, she suggested Derrick Adams. I am so glad she did because his work delivers some nice summer fun, but as with all great art, there is a ton more under the surface.
