Ceremonial Scroll: Cosmic Connectedness, Kristin Reed, 2023, acrylic on linen, 36 x 34 in. / 91.44 x 86.36 cm.

In Ceremonial Scroll: Cosmic Connectedness, a radiant orb emerges from a complex matrix of geometric webs, pulsing with warmth and intention. This piece is both meditative and mathematical, anchored by a luminous red center, yet surrounded by intricate white latticework suggesting unity within diversity. Hanging like a sacred banner, the scroll becomes a visual mantra, encouraging viewers to seek harmony within themselves and their universe.

Eye in the Sky, Kristin Reed, 2024, acrylic on linen, 40 x 29 in. / 101.6 x 73.66 cm.

Eye in the Sky dives deeper into spatial rhythm, mapping the intersecting orbits of unseen forces. At the center lies a red nucleus, from which radiate spiraling galaxies of stippled paint. The delicately overlapping white rings suggest duality, movement, and relationship. The composition pulses with gravitational logic and divine chaos, inviting contemplation of the interconnected dance of cosmic bodies.

Totality, Kristin Reed, 2024, mixed media, 60 x 44 in. / 152.4 x 111.76 cm.

The most immersive and ritualistic of the three, Totality stages an eclipse as a ceremonial event. A black void is encircled by a spectral halo, its outer rim shimmering with hues of coral, violet, and pearl. Surrounding the linen surface are fringes, shells, and traditional appliqué, transforming the piece from a painting into a spiritual artifact. Reed positions the eclipse not just as an astronomical event, but as a metaphor for surrender, shadow, and revelation.

Together, Reed’s works function as spiritual scrolls, visual chants that weave together scientific wonder, ancestral wisdom, and sacred symbolism. By bridging geometry with textile tactility, Reed invites us into a space where art becomes altar, and observation becomes offering.
