An Archive of the Eclectic Interests of an Autodidact

I hope you enjoy this extraordinary experience of the art of Andrew Reach, who happens to be my husband for almost 39 years now. No matter how many times while editing it, I have watched his images, it continually takes me away from self into a world of color, shape and wonder.
For those of you who are just seeing the work of Andrew Reach for the first time, he was an architect and because of a rare debilitating spine disease, became disabled and reinvented himself as an artist. To see more of Andrew Reach’s art visit https://www.andrewreach.com
My life partner Andrew Reach was selected to exhibit his art at this years Cleveland Ingenuityfest for his innovative digital art.
Ingenuity’s mission is to ignite the creative spark where the arts, science, and technology intersect.

Andrew says about the work above:
My architectural background comes into the work “Seven Model Citizens”. Within a vocabulary of symbols suggestive of computer code, seven anthropomorphic architectonic constructions are lined up, at once symbolizing individuality and rigid conformity. The blocky formed monoliths conform to a grid where they must reside, yet, each is still unique. The antenna appendage on their heads represents the untethered power we now possess to be connected with smart phones and Wi-Fi.

Andrew says about the work above:
The work “Three Comma One” represent my left brain and right brain, on a collision course with each other. Grids and symbols, numbers and letters alluding to architectural and engineering drawings (from my left brain) coexist with colorful geometric abstraction (from my right brain).

Andrew says about the work above:
The word Reformabit is latin to transform or reshape. The works “Reformabit 1” and “Reformabit 2” are studies of relationships of geometric parts all working in harmony to make a dynamic system and suggest a vocabulary of abstracted engineering drawings. These constructions are also about energy and movement. Again, these works represent a meeting of the two sides of my brain, a balancing act of engineering and creativity.
