Reed Hexamer (they/he) is an artist and researcher perforating the membranes dividing ecological, archival and somatic frameworks to speculate on queer, counter-teleological approaches to research that expose fact-making as a collaborative project of invention. Their practice positions sculpture, writing and sound as forms of fugitive fieldwork through which the dust that settles on truth can be encountered as a being with its own histories, agendas and love affairs.
