“I enjoy the tension that is created when different materials are combined,” said Reid. “Most of my materials are found or recycled building materials and fabric. I try to put a piece of myself in everything I do. I love building something out of nothing; it gives me a sense of power in a world where we have very little control. I make art, and I know nothing else.”
