Enmarcamos a Paul ADIE

« Hello, I’m Paul. I was born in Scotland and after studying in Glasgow, I hopped around Europe living in Spain, Russia, Estonia and Lithuania, eventually settling in Barcelona to work as a translator. I then decided to study jewellery at the Escola Massana (Degree in Artistic Jewellery, Escola Massana, Barcelona, Spain September 2012 – May 2015) under Ramon Puig Cuyàs. »

« The Earth is moving

 We are moving.

We try to hold on tight. 

Every movement is unstable and the ground shakes. 

When will it stand still?

 After thousands of inventions and discoveries, humans still want to know where they came from and look to the past. We search on the internet and ask our relatives for answers to why we are who we are. Parents dread the question « where do babies come from? », grandparents satisfy their grandchildren’s curiosity about what it was like in the old days. What if we look further back? When did we first make tools, when did we first speak, what were our first beliefs?

 We don’t know. The unanswered questions are endless: does heaven exist? Is there life beyond this planet? Why are we here?

The mystery that surrounds these questions is my starting point. By using my hands I come up with approximations to answers and I feel what it is to be human. I try to challenge what I already know and not be scared of being surrounded by what I don’t. » Paul Adie
