Adam Bainbridge uses model making as a departure point for the production for highly detailed pencil drawings. His work considers the representational process of drawing, and focuses on expanding his conclusions in a very literal way. His initial starting points are ordinary objects belonging to suburbia and the working middle class, but these are distorted in each piece to create a new metaphysical reality where new and uncertain narratives are allowed to develop. His interest in culturally familiar iconography allows themes of nostalgia, the uncanny and surreal to register with a collective consciousness. In this, he cites the Surrealists, Symbolists and Freud as influential to his practice - in particular Francis Picabia, Odilon Redon, and De Chirico. 
For Bainbridge, the act of drawing can be seen in two ways, looking both inwards and outwards. It is both a mirror to the world, and a window into the mind’s retina - the finished drawing is an interface between perceptions of the inner self and the outer world. Considering this theory can transform a formerly simple drawing into a mental diagram of how the world exists to the individual. This is central to Bainbridge’s practice, as he opens up the drawing’s “lens” function to explore how a drawing can represent an object that is very real and tangible, yet also exists in a more psychological realm. As such, he is interested in a friction between the two realities and consciously balancing reality with fantasy.
By making models to use as his primary source, Bainbridge pre-emptively deviates each drawing from straightforward representation. He can directly reconfigure suburban iconography with his own inventions, memories and abstract forms. His recent work uses ceramic domestic ornaments as his starting point; they hold particular appeal for being cast in outdated activities, and already seem foreign within a contemporary setting. Whilst on the one hand they are embodiments of life, to him these “characters from another world” are fixed both in time and ceramic, watching a changing world with blank eyes.  As a pencil drawing has an arguably closer relationship to the hand and body than a painting or photograph, the final psychological effect is further unsettled by their corporeal intimacy.
