Cool Clay by Guy Adamec

Cool Clay by Guy Adamec

鈥淢y view on making 鈥榓rt鈥 over the years has slowly evolved into something that is finally becoming clear," Adamec said. "As an emerging artist, one is frequently told that fame and fortune is the goal; showing in reputable galleries, shows in big cities, knowing all the right people and dealers. Now, although I hold nothing against successful galleries and dealers, and still use them, I find that the 鈥榝ame and fortune鈥 part to be the least important factor. Rather, time alone in the studio when ones intuition is in control; that is the moment that we (artists) live for. If one masters his craft and knows in his heart he has done his best, then something good will happen,鈥 Guy Adamec, creator of the Cool Clay exhibit.

The origins of their ideas are unknown to all but the artists themselves and we are left to wonder what sparked such ingenuity. Kettering鈥檚 Humanities Art Center asked Dunbar for access to the posters, 3-D sketches and miniature bronze sculptures which show the genesis of his artistic vision for his Machinist Series, which culminated in the Orbits of Isaac which now rests at the entrance to the Campus Center.
