Curator Cliff Eyland: "KC Adams uses herself and her aboriginal friends as subjects. Ever the fashionista, she creates glamorous and sexy photographs that give her subjects darker complexions, just as Vogue and W magazines do, but with the intention of imparting to them a more "aboriginal" look. She also creates accessories, several of which will be included in the Gallery One One One show, including t-shirts, an iPod holder, a USB beaded bracelet, a cell phone carrier, a LED choker and LED flip flop shoes - what she calls 'cyborg hybrid artifacts'."
Adams's Gallery One One One show complemented a concurrent solo show, Transcendence - cyborg hybrida genitalis humanitas, August 31 - October 14, 2006,
at the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba. in Brandon, curated by Catherine Mattes.
On 6 October 2006 Gallery One One One organized a van trip from Winnipeg to Brandon so that many of Adams's subjects could see both installations.
