Adam Thomas Rees<\/a> is a Salt Lake City sculptor and painter whose work explores moments of essence distilled through form and color. Working with polymer clay and paint, his creations reflect the duality of the natural and political landscapes of the American West. In his sculptures, Adam captures the wild beauty of the West, from the attentive stance of a hare to the keen gaze of an owl. His paintings, by contrast, depict political figures, exploring their public personas through deliberate poses, candid moments, and iconic imagery. Through these mediums, Adam expresses the complexities of life in the West, blending reverence for its natural beauty with a nuanced view of its politics and culture.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
