“Footsteps in Shallow Water” Reed Peck-Kriss, 2026

The City of Auburn and the Auburn Arts Commission are pleased to present an art installation, Footsteps in Shallow Water, by Reed Peck-Kriss at the Postmark Center for the Arts Vault Gallery, on view April 17th – July 10th, 2026.

“Footsteps in Shallow Water is an exploration of light, texture, and presence. Rendering the landscape in forged aluminum, and offering the viewer space to imagine and empathize with the unseen traveler who has so recently stepped through the space, and to reflect on their own motion through the world, and the steps that they leave behind.”

Reed Peck-Kriss is an architectural and sculptural blacksmith, whose work draws on aspects of form, connection, and composition to reflect and examine aspects of the natural world, and explore the inherently distortionary nature of representative art.
