Welcome!
The Illusion of Edges is a website dedicated to the artwork by Maine artist, Pat Reed.
Pat Reed is an art educator who has produced work in the New England area since 1985. Mythological themes and visual narratives are often developed as a byproduct of the play of edges or emerging suggestions from the lights and darks. The contours of the sculptural glass figures and heads are defined by both positive and negative forms. Paintings often incorporate collage technique of layers of fabric and cloth that are added, sometimes subtracted and manipulated, then reapplied to imbue work with a sense of metamorphosis and transformation through the process of layering.
