Will the Great Water Remember (2022 & 2024)

National Aquarium Voyages, Chapter II, 2022

Patrick McMinn and I were invited to collaborate to create a composition for the Voyages event on November 17, 2022 at the National Aquarium in Baltimore. We were given the parameters that our performance would go from 7-9:30pm and would be presented on wireless “silent disco” headphones, which have three audio channels available. The Aquarium invited us to take inspiration from their programs and exhibits, and after meeting with several of their curators and educators we decided to take our inspiration from the Chesapeake Bay.

Aborning New Light

Aborning New Light is a video installation from my larger New Light series. The visuals were mined from archives of nuclear testing on American soil. From the declassified nuclear testing film footage, the 1000s of film stills were printed onto transparencies, exposed onto light sensitive paper and finally, he rescanned the processed prints back into a single film (sometimes objects like Godzilla figurines or Enola Gay toys were placed on the darkroom paper during the exposure process).

Burning Away

Burning Away is a long term project started in November 2020 which utilized honey and various oils on a sun-fused silver gelatin paper in a recreation of the numerous stories by survivors seeking to heal the charred trauma.

Poem, A Chapbook

Poem, A Chapbook consists of one single poem addressing language, grammar, the connection between reader and writer, the physical nature of a chapbook as an artefact, and, most importantly, plain human love. Put it in your coat pocket, snuggled close to your heart, step out of your home, and let this book take you for a walk.

The Ghosts That Surrounded Them

"Reminiscent of Shane Jones and Kevin Brockmeier, but with a style all its own, Timmy Reed’s The Ghosts That Surrounded Them is a history of the unseen world, a beautifully written surreal meditation on life and death, the distances that surround us all, and the beauty of life. Reed is a real talent. I devoured this book in a single sitting, and it stayed with me like few others." -CL Bledsoe, author of Man of Clay

Concealer

Just shy of a five-minute runtime, Concealer is an avant-garde short film that explores the suggested obscenity and permissibility of the feminized body.
