The Weight of Soft Things

a solo Exhibition by Reed McCoy

February 5-March 28

Reed McCoy

Reed McCoy is based in Portland, OR. His work explores and challenges, but is not limited to, the deep connection to pain, love, memory, & sorrow through floral photo works on a variety of mediums. Most recently, exploring the combination of flower petals (from the still life’s he photographs) and recycled paper (journals, bills, grocery lists, etc.) to make homemade paper for his prints

This exhibition explores grief as a quiet, shifting space between presence and absence.

The pieces reflect on the thoughts of “Who are we today?” and “Who do we long to be?” Sometimes, it represents the longing for someone who was once by your side in daily life. Other times, the work can feel like a fleeting moment of warmth and fear, altogether.
The works attend to understated moments of yearning, softness, and emotional distance, offering a gentle reflection on what it means to hold loss without fully naming it.
