Adam Ledford draws inspiration from the children's book 'Harold and the Purple Crayon' to create large-scale installations that explore identity and personal values through everyday objects. His works feature life-size line drawings of domestic spaces adorned with ceramic reliefs. By examining items like cooking utensils and decorative objects, Ledford showcases how these elements represent individual experiences. His current exhibition, Dinner Table, emphasizes how drawn environments serve as a stage for these everyday objects to embody personal narratives, highlighting the intersection of art and domesticity.
"I am the person visiting your house, who is eyeing up all the tchotchkes, asking about your tea kettle, and picking up and looking at the bottom of your tableware."
"The objects help set a mental stage for the abstract process of thinking about the past."
"The drawn environments are a stage setting for the objects to play and star."
Ledford's work is currently on view in Dinner Table, on view through May 29 at The Delaware Contemporary in Wilmington.
