Adam Eddy is an interdisciplinary artist and teacher whose work ranges from painting and sculpture to computer graphics and immersive technology. He received an MFA in painting and drawing from Boston University in 2016 and an MFA in creative technologies from Virginia Tech in 2022. Before joining the faculty at UAB, Eddy was an assistant professor of studio art at Columbia College and an adjunct professor of painting and drawing at the College of Charleston. His work has been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions at national and international venues.
Eddy's work explores the porous boundaries between ourselves and others, organic and mechanical sentience, animals and humans, animacy and inanimacy, past and future, truth and magic, the dead and the living. By questioning the dichotomies constructed in our minds, Eddy seeks to explore the interconnectedness of things. His aim is to challenge individuality, exceptionalism, and the social hierarchies that isolate us.
