We learned about Abby
Goodman via Blackbird Gallery in New York. It was instantly apparent that she
is a talented, dedicated, artist who is excelling in various mediums. We were intrigued
by her sculptures and installation, particularly Deer Fly. Naturally we had to
reach out to have her on the blog!
A metallurgist from the age of twelve, Abby grew up in an old
barn in the outskirts of Philadelphia. A nomadic nature drives her to
work and study alongside masters around the globe, collecting knowledge in
exchange for labor. These experiential travels forge the basis of
Goodman’s work. Scavenging the streets for discarded materials, she
utilizes her skills transforming found objects into freshly minted works of
art. Sculpture, painting, installation, and performance all contribute to
her autobiographical pastiche. Complete with mythical beasts and barren
landscapes, Goodman uses this illusive world as a platform to address the human
condition. These images act as harbingers, yet function as symbols of hope.
