Ehren Elizabeth Reed's work attracts attention primarily with an unusual combination of materials and techniques. The craftswoman embroiders human figures on maps, pages of books and postcards with colored threads, and claims that in this way she is building a dialogue between the virtual world of technology and the physical aspects of human interaction.
Erin Elizabeth Reed can hardly be called a girl keeping up with modern technology. In the 90s of the last century, she was one of the very few high school students who still used typewriters. Later, Erin still allowed the computer to enter her life, but along with this came the realization of the fact that in the digital age, true interpersonal communication is increasingly fading away. And the girl decided that if she was not able to prevent this, then she could at least draw people's attention to this problem - with the help of her creativity, of course.
At first, Erin Reed painted, but soon realized that painting was not the most suitable means for translating her ideas into reality. Since she raised the problem of direct interpersonal communication, she herself wanted more contact with her works: not just applying paint strokes on the canvas, but holding her work in her hands, touching it, feeling it. And then embroidery came to her aid. The author embroiders human figures with colored threads, using geographical maps or pages of textbooks as a basis.
According to Erin Reed, the use of maps in her work is an attempt to determine the specific physical location of the person entering into a relationship. The embroidery symbolizes the touch of a human hand. And "conscientious mixing of old and new materials and techniques gives the work a touch of temporality - this is a tease on the border of the past and the present."
Erin Elizabeth Reed was born in Chicago. For the past ten years she has lived in San Francisco, where she graduated from California College of the Arts.
