Adam Field is known for wheel-thrown and altered porcelain functional work with precision-incised and precision-carved surface decoration completed in the wet-stage. Field?s surface treatment is made with hand tools he designed or altered for this purpose. Glazes appear earth-toned with simple resist decoration.

Regarding the origins of the incised and carved designs, Field's states, ?The surface of my pottery is meticulously carved with intricate designs that borrow from nature and incorporate the human touch. Much of the carving on my work is informed by the pattern languages found in indigenous fiber art, such as Hawaiian tapa, Incan cordage, and Zulu basketry.?
