Adam DeSorbo is an artist from upstate New York currently living in Oregon. He holds a B.S. in Environmental Studies from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry and is an MFA candidate at the University of Oregon. In addition to his formal education, he was taught to build by his dad in rural New York, learned to use an axe through building backcountry trails in New Hampshire and Maine, became overwhelmed with the abundance of the earth in the mountains of the east, and is currently wading in the complications of human ecology through studio practice and a life spent outside. It is his belief that here, in work rooted in experience, where the self and the earth are woven with grief and magic and everything in-between.
