About The Work
For his 2017 inHarlem project in collaboration with The Studio Museum in Harlem, Adams carried out extensive research on Black design in fashion at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, culminating in a body of work entitled Mood Board. Silver Lining incorporates abstract collage, vintage clothing patterns, fabric, and bold, colorful forms to communicate Adams' interest in formalism, deconstruction, and fragmentation. Playing with perspective, viewers see the exposed lining and structure of the coat as seen from an imagined vantage point beneath the runway. The piece merges the visual vernacular of garment making with the frenetic energy of a runway show – an ode to legendary Black fashion.
