Hallmark Ornaments by Mike Adair

Few objects demand as much clarity at a small scale as an ornament, and Mike Adair’s work shows a consistent understanding of that challenge. From 2011 Hide 'n' Peek, Club Ornament to 2014 Soccer Star, Mike Adair is credited with 10 distinct designs. The strongest recurring threads include Club Ornaments, although the wider catalog also contains stand-alone pieces that broaden the portrait of the artist.

Club Ornaments provides one of the clearest ways to follow the work; Ornaments such as 2011 Hide 'n' Peek, Club Ornament, 2011 Silly Sounds Elf, Magic, and 2014 Football Star mark useful points in the chronology. Placed together, these ornaments form a useful visual record of how Mike Adair interpreted both annual traditions and changing popular culture.
