About the Item

This striking wall-mounted sculpture by Christopher Adams is crafted in black earthenware and composed as a densely layered, organic form that bridges ceramic tradition and contemporary abstraction. Built through an accumulation of folded, petal-like planes, the surface is animated by hundreds of rounded nodules that create a tactile, almost geological texture. The matte black glaze subtly shifts with light, emphasizing depth, shadow, and the work’s sculptural relief. Adams’ approach foregrounds material presence and process. The work reads simultaneously as floral, mineral, and corporeal—an object that feels grown rather than made. Its dimensionality invites close inspection, while its restrained monochrome palette allows it to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of architectural and interior contexts. Designed to be wall-mounted, the sculpture installs easily and securely, hanging on a single nail. The piece functions as an object of quiet intensity—at once rigorous and sensuous—making it well suited for collectors of contemporary ceramics, sculptural wall works, and materially driven art.

Untitled CA245, Organic Wall-Mounted Ceramic Sculpture with Glossy Earth Tones
By Christopher Adams
Located in New York, NY
Ceramic wall sculpture, organic form, modern decorative art. This unique wall-mounted ceramic piece features an intricate arrangement of hand-formed, petal-like elements that radiate in a starburst or botanical-inspired composition.

Untitled, orange biomorphic flora-like ceramic sculpture, 2015
By Christopher Adams
Located in New York, NY
Christopher Adams creates sculptures that play on biological concepts, specifically adaptive radiation, whereby a pioneering organism enters an untapped environment and then differentiates rapidly without departing too much from its original form. His sculptures suggest varieties of creatures, but not necessarily a specific organism. Many works are suggestive of plant life with leafy tendrils and frayed edges. Adams graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College...

Margins Of Matter, Abstract Mixed-Media Sculpture Wall Mounted, 7.5 x 7 x 2 in.
By Lisa Pressman
Located in New York, NY
SIGNED ON BACK. Lisa Pressman’s Shape of Memory series transforms cardboard, thread, smoke, and Letraset into evocative wall-mounted works that recall ancient relics or worn book covers. Each shaped panel floats about an inch off the wall, often casting glowing, colored shadows from painted backs that shift with the light. Stitched seams and weathered surfaces suggest scars, resilience, and the passage of time, resonating as personal artifacts of memory and healing. Known for her abstract paintings in oil, encaustic, and mixed media, Pressman’s oeuvre consistently explores impermanence and transformation. With their sculptural presence and luminous effects, these intimate objects blur painting...
