Due to continued interest and popular demand, we are pleased to announce the extension of 𝙍𝙚/𝘼𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙡𝙚, bringing together Alex Ebstein and Reed Anderson in an exploration of material transformation and the possibilities of contemporary abstraction. Working across distinct yet complementary practices, both artists employ processes of cutting, layering, and reconstruction to reconsider the formal and cultural associations of everyday materials. Ebstein incorporates yoga mats, industrial materials, and 3D-printed elements into tactile assemblages that examine the relationship between the body, labor, and contemporary notions of wellness. Anderson works with new and recycled rip-stop nylon, drawing on the visual language of flags, banners, and geometric abstraction to create compositions that navigate the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and textile. Through their respective approaches, both artists investigate the shifting relationships between material, form, and meaning, revealing how familiar objects and visual conventions can be reconfigured to generate new spatial and conceptual possibilities.

Currently on view at PFA-Washington, D.C., 𝙍𝙚/𝘼𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙡𝙚 presents new work by Reed Anderson and Alex Ebstein, bringing together two distinct artistic practices that reconsider the conventions of painting through unconventional materials and methods of construction. For Ebstein, the incorporation of yoga mats, ceramics and other manufactured materials extends painting beyond its traditional boundaries. Her compositions engage the physical qualities of their components, allowing texture and dimensionality to become integral to the work. Anderson similarly approaches abstraction through material experimentation, transforming ripstop nylon and repurposed spinnaker sails into compositions informed by the visual language of flags. His work examines the relationship between established symbols and their capacity for reinterpretation. In dialogue, the artists reveal how the manipulation of familiar materials can challenge established definitions of painting while opening new possibilities for artistic expression.

Over the past year Gretchen and I have been working on a series of collaborative dance and movement exercises for performance and film.

Thank you Luis at PFA for giving us the opportunity to grow this part of ourselves.

Currently on view at PFA-Washington, D.C., 𝙍𝙚/𝘼𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙡𝙚 brings together Reed Anderson and Alex Ebstein in a two-person exhibition exploring material transformation, structural experimentation and the possibilities of reconfiguration.

Through distinct approaches to painting and assemblage, both artists investigate how familiar materials can be altered, repurposed and given new meaning. Ebstein incorporates yoga mats, ceramics, PLA and other industrial and found materials into layered compositions that examine relationships between surface, texture and the body. Anderson works with new and upcycled ripstop nylon and spinnaker sails, drawing on the visual language of flags to explore abstraction, identity and cultural symbolism. Together, their practices challenge conventional distinctions between painting and sculpture, emphasizing processes of construction, fragmentation and reconstruction. Through the manipulation of materials and forms, 𝙍𝙚/𝘼𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙡𝙚 considers how existing structures can be reinterpreted through acts of artistic intervention.

(Not) Strictly Painting, a group exhibition at McLean Project for the Arts held an artist talk on 9/26. Thanks to Michael O'Sullivan @osullivanm for including my work in this show.
I had a nice chat with him and some of the other artists whose work you see in images 1-6. Unfortunately my images of work by Leah Lewis @leahleww and Jenny Walton did not turn out... that means you have to stop by the MPA Emerson & Atrium Galleries to check out the work! The show is up until November 7th. @mp4a
Special shout out to Jen Lillis, Nancy Sausser, Sharon Fishel, and the rest of the exhibition staff at MPA!!

The great thing about the DMV area is that I can easily get from Baltimore to NoVA to DC to see my show and also the new exhibition up at PFA @pfa__gallery in one afternoon.
Images 7-11 show work from Re/Assemble, Alex Ebstein & Reed Anderson. Alex's work is a must to see in person. The texture and playfulness is enhanced by the shapes, colors, and material choices but in the work by both artists there is an undercurrent beyond the play - ominous, cautionary, and/or just a kick ass use of material; you be the judge.
Show runs until October 31st.

Both of these exhibitions have detail laden works and are worth your afternoon.

Currently on view at PFA-Washington, D.C., 𝙍𝙚/𝘼𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙡𝙚 brings together the work of Reed Anderson and Alex Ebstein in a two-person exhibition examining material, structure and the possibilities of reconfiguration.

Working across distinct processes, both artists reconsider familiar materials through acts of cutting, assembling and transformation. Ebstein constructs mixed-media works from yoga mats, ceramics, PLA and other found or industrial materials, developing compositions that explore the relationship between the body, touch and contemporary material culture. Anderson works with new and upcycled ripstop nylon and spinnaker sails, extending his ongoing investigation of flags as abstract forms and as personal and cultural signifiers. Presented together, their works move between painting, sculpture and assemblage, emphasizing the physical construction of an artwork and the ways materials can acquire new associations through reuse and intervention.

September has been a whirlwind as summer faded out and back-to-school and back-to-the-art-world season kicked in. Throw in a wedding, a few weekends away, and everything in between! And we haven’t even gotten to my birthday or the art fairs yet. 🤍 😉 ❤️

Join us today, September 12th, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM at PFA-Washington D.C. for the opening reception of 𝙍𝙚/𝘼𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙡𝙚, a two person exhibition featuring Reed Anderson and Alex Ebstein.

Bringing the artists’ practices into direct conversation, Re/Assemble explores collage, material transformation and artistic intervention through processes of unmaking and reconstitution. Working across assemblage, painting and sculptural forms, Anderson and Ebstein reconsider familiar materials and their original functions, examining the relationships between object, form and construction.

Ebstein transforms yoga mats, ceramics and 3D-printed elements into tactile mixed-media works, while Anderson works with new and repurposed ripstop nylon and spinnaker sails to create flags and banners that move between painting and sculpture. Together, their works consider material, labor and the possibilities that emerge through taking apart and making anew.

𝙍𝙚/𝘼𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙡𝙚 will be on view through October 31st.

𝗥𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻’𝘀 interdisciplinary practice spans painting, printmaking, cut paper and installation, often using processes of fragmentation and reconstruction to explore material, pattern and form. Through cutting, layering and sewing, Anderson builds compositions that extend beyond conventional approaches to painting and emphasize the physical qualities of his materials. In his recent work, Anderson turns to new and recycled ripstop nylon, including upcycled spinnaker sails, creating sewn compositions that draw on the visual and symbolic language of flags. Traces of the materials’ previous use remain visible as Anderson reorganizes them into geometric forms that move between painting, sculpture and textile. The works consider the flag as an object associated with identity, belonging and collective meaning.

This Saturday, September 12, Anderson’s work will be presented alongside Alex Ebstein in 𝙍𝙚/𝘼𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙡𝙚 at PFA Washington, D.C. The exhibition brings together two distinct approaches to abstraction, material transformation and the reconstruction of familiar objects.
