Redford Reece

Redford Reece is an American artist; born in the Midwest and raised in the Carolinas, with a brief stint in California to be held by Arnold Schwarzenegger for a magazine. They love reading Wikipedia, eating corn, and getting really excited about road signs. Red can most often be heard comparing something to something else. Their obsessively categorical mind earned them an International Sculpture Center Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award in 2025. Their work has been shown around southern ME, in Dallas, TX, and in various publications. Currently pursuing a BFA in Sculpture from Maine College of Art & Design and living in Portland, Maine; Red misses billboards.

American culture is all drag. The excess, the gloss, the machismo - there is an uncanny beauty in it all. I am fascinated by the biggest balls of yarn and the olympic size swimming pools. I eat at Texas Roadhouse and consider it research. I look at the airport ceiling and find the vibrant grid present in all things.

I am a performative sculptor. When I perform, I am objectifying myself. When my objectwork stands in front of you, it becomes me, enlivening itself. This duet lends itself to the futility of my material interests. I dive headfirst into incredibly repetitive, laborious processes in order to recreate Impossibly Plastic American Realities. I pervert found materials and iconography into symbols for that commercial you couldn’t escape at 3 am, that strange sign in your neighbor’s lawn, or your greatest tweenybopfantasies. I cut things up and piece them together, creating quilts, mosaics, and masks of these grotesque and holy fabrications.
