he`s so original

Jim Adams bends steel.

Jim is no stranger to a skirt.  You can usually find the sculptor in a kilt in his Hillsborough studio, using metal, glass, and stone to reflect the “connectedness” he finds between nature and man. “I love to study history. I love science. I’m an amateur astronomer.” Jim also spends a lot of time hiking and mountain climbing, and it’s on those treks that he finds the things that really inspire him.  “Mosses, mushrooms, fungus.  Seeds and pods are a real kind of hopeful thing.”

What’s the best thing about wearing a skirt?  “It’s really un-bifurcated.”

What’s the best thing about reading skirt!? “It reminds me of the things I have to look forward to as my young daughters become women. No amount of fire-breathing, metal-pounding, primal man activity negates the reality that, at the end of the day, I come home, have tea parties, work puzzles, and dance with my girls.”
