Brad Reed Nelson has a BFA in Functional Design from Murray State University and an MFA in Sculpture from Arizona State University. His interest in art began with his interest in fashion and fashion design. However it was not in fashion design that he found his art form but in creating furniture with a stylized remix of the qualities he finds alluring in today’s pop culture; androgyny, ambiguity, sexuality, form, function, and style. By embracing the ideals of this generation he attempts to capture its cultural values. Taking inspiration from its music, fashion, architecture and attitude he creates cohesive forms that embody these elements. Brad Reed Nelson has his studio “Board by Design”, in Aspen Colorado. He came to Aspen 4 years ago to teach at Anderson Ranch Arts Center and later to become the Center’s interim Furniture Program Director. One thing led to another making Aspen his home were he happily lives with his wife and 3 chipmunks. |
