Michael E. Goldman is an architecturally trained designer and fine artist born in Rochester, New York in 1963. Goldman's work combines the precision of an architect and the nonlinear process of a fine artist. Fascinated by the unexpected beauty of industrial materials and objects, he can be inspired by something that catches his eye at a hardware store, a flea market, a salvage yard or in an industrial supply catalog. He often employs found or pre-manufactured objects and prefers to use inexpensive materials that are not considered precious: steel, plywood, concrete. This offers a freedom and spontaneity to the design/fabrication process and allows him to follow his curiosity. Goldman's work is an incorporation of his experience as an architectural designer for firms in New York City and Seattle, WA, and as an artist's assistant, notably for public artist Buster Simpson of Seattle, WA. He holds a B.S. from Skidmore College and further undergraduate studies at the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in New York City and a M.A. in Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania. He also spent time as an Emerging Artist in Residence at Seattle's Pilchuck Glass School. He currently resides in San Francisco, CA, working in the motion picture industry as an Art Director while maintaining a studio in Oakland, CA. |
