My Development in the Visual Arts by David Adams




Although I am now (2016) 67 years old, it is only in the
last few years that, in addition to being an art historian
and art theorist, I have begun to think of myself as a visual
artist – primarily in ”newer” mediums like performance art,
installation, and visual music (“light art”). However, a request
for me to write my “artistic biography” leads me to realize that
I have been involved with related “artistic activities” off and
on for decades. There have been many diverse aspects to my
life, and it is sometimes difficult (also for me) to find a clear
continuity through it all, but here I will undertake a selective
review from the point of view of "myself-as-a-creative-artist."
