- In post-Katrina New Orleans a resourceful artist turns trash into treasure.
- How do you ruin a bowling ball? Adam Dowis can tell you. Adam is an artist working in trash-strewn New Orleans six months after Hurricane Katrina. Adam uses materials his environment provides: the best garbage there'll ever be. What others see as useless debris, he resourcefully turns into one-of-a-kind lamps. Like New Orleans, Adam's lamps are functional yet dangerous, beautiful but could zap you. It's hard not to make them blow up. In a city that appreciates uniqueness and imperfections, Adam and his creations are at home. For Adam, the months following Hurricane Katrina are a golden age of junk.—Marina Tait
- How do you ruin a bowling ball? Adam Dowis can tell you. Adam is an artist working in trash-strewn New Orleans six months after Hurricane Katrina. A self-proclaimed urban guy, Adam uses materials his environment provides, and what his environment offers is the best garbage there'll ever be. What others see as useless debris, Adam resourcefully turns into one-of-a-kind lamps. Like New Orleans itself, Adam's lamps are strangely functional yet dangerous. They are beautiful but could zap you. Sometimes it's hard not to make them blow up. In a city that has always attracted the disenfranchised, that appreciates uniqueness and imperfections, Adam and his creations are at home and understood. For Adam, the months following Hurricane Katrina truly are a golden age of junk.—Marina Tait
