Toin Adams — Sculpture, Public Art & Digital Work

I am an artist and a film maker. Whatever medium I am working in, there is always a story to tell. I work alone but also in collaborations with other creatives in many different fields. I sometimes make art for no purpose other than the joy of doing it. And I also make art for corporations and non-profits with a mission. Whatever the project I aim to express the essence of a thing whether it be in clay or bronze or digital pixels. And I hope that when its complete I have created an experience for the viewer that captures their imagination and takes them somewhere they might not have been before.
