Ben Goodman
I am attracted to the minimal as I view images in and of the landscape. I try to exclude all other extraneous matter (or visual “noise”) and focus on the primary elements that caught my attention at the outset. In this manner, my image making tends to develop into abstractions. This also focuses my attention on the features that excite me. These images become a vital part of my visual language – almost as important as the work itself. They provide a visual context with which to consider an idea, concept or feeling.
The work I do as an artist provides me with a clear way of viewing the landscape and a visual vocabulary
with which to express this view. I am challenged to ensure that my work has a strong voice and is not about technique.
