Adama is a textile artist, facilitator and instigator. She uses materials as a tool to ask questions while exploring how her practice can offer herself and others a space to heal by letting the materials become the mediator and bring communities together.

Both the physical and digital realms are important in her workflow as she prioritises the process of making where she is playful and experimental with her approach to yield unexpected outcomes. Working in both the physical and digital spaces offers a different experience and tools to create work which allows the work to take on a life of its own and creates a reference point to cycle both worlds into each other.

Adama has a background in fine art and design, graduating from MA Textiles at The Royal College of Art and Painting and Printmaking at The Glasgow School of Art. She navigates the space between fine artist and designer where focusing on the ‘why’ and having a voice through her work has become the driving force for making.
