DEAN ADAMS
Bronze Bird

Of his work, Dean adams says "Through kitsch figurines, I am poking fun at and celebrating the Western icons of the cowboy and mountain man.  I embrace their values of ornament and costume, while challenging the trite machismo of the Western male.  The pieces are intended to use humor as a vehicle to explore a deeper, more serious aspect of the American man."
