The only prize/scholarship I wanted to win, and I did, so how excited was I?! Very. Very, very excited to have the studio space I need to do bigger sculpture. (a $9000 studio, all to myself, who wouldn’t smile? I’m honoured the judges felt my piece worthy of winning).
I now have a personal 500sq ft studio in the heart of Toronto’s art scene at 401 Richmond, just a hop skip away from where I live. I’ll be finishing up the two small pieces I’m doing now, and then when I get the studio july 1st, I’ll be starting some large works.
Thank you OCAD, donors, and 401. Adam’s gonna make some crazy shit now. I won some other scholarships as well (listed under the CV) and those will go towards material cost. Mmmmm silicon skin. I’m going to make Genpets look like child’s play.

"That was when I realized. I asked myself could some of what these people be talking about actually be dangerous? And the best thing I can do is stay close to them, track what they are interested in and either hack it or try to confuse the spaces in which they operate". - Rob Van Kranenburg
