Found objects often appear inconsequential to the casual eye but to artist Carl Reed, disregarded items become visual treasures.

A fortunate friendship forged over the Atlantic Ocean brought together abstract Colorado artist Reed and Swedish resident Thomas Claesson -  who has assembled an enormous collection of objects that have washed ashore, been abandoned, been unearthed and acquired through inheritance.

These objects have been assembled into an eclectic display of found art that possesses an inherent aesthetic power that allows them to stand on their own. Some of the pieces featured include 18” iron nails, textiles from 1800’s and a broom. Don’t miss what they have found!
