Vianca Adams

Paarl, Western Cape, South Africa
Email: viancavdv@gmail.com



Vianca Adams is a mother of four living in Paarl, Western Cape, South Africa. Adams has no formal art training or background, She started drawing because somehow it made her feel less "broken." The work you see has been created  and composed of different mediums and materials. Initially, Vianca used whatever junk she found interesting and mixed bits of paints and food colouring because she is unable to afford art materials. As time passed Vianca rather enjoyed creating in this manner, "treasure hunting" in open fields, on busy streets and relatives' backyards. She is now crafting, making bowls, African drums, candle holders, cd racks etc. All from scrap!

Chad Farnes
Salt Lake
City, USA
Email: chadfarnes@gmail.com
Website: www.chadfarnes.com


Chad Farnes is a self-taught artist originally from California. He moved to Utah for college and eventually decided to stay, attracted by the incredible outdoor opportunities that exist throughout the state. Not only did they provide hours of recreation, the beautiful locations inspired Chad to begin a new series of art pieces. Using hundreds of colorful strips of tape, Chad recreated the places and things that define Utah. Tape is a unique medium that provides an additional link between the art and the outdoors. Unless time is taken to appreciate and conserve these beautiful and culturally significant locations, they will become as disposable and meaningless as the tape used in the art. However, if they are persevered properly, they can be enjoyed for generations to come.
