Digital Imaging

Goldman's work in the area of digital imaging can be characterized by a rich use of the color, pattern and texture as well as a multi-layering of photographic elements. Art historian Dr. Thomas Stubblefield, has stated,"Utilizing digital photography to carefully layer graphic elements of the natural world, Goldman’s images blur the boundaries between still and moving images, painting and photography, realism and fantasy. These tensions form the basis of his Veiled Ancestors and Coincidentia Oppositorum series, a body of work that originates from the vast catalogue of photographs that the artist has collected from his daily walks in the woods. In this work the camera is called upon not to suspend or freeze time but to expand its reach, accumulating multiple moments within its frame" and "In his Extremities and Digits series, Goldman interrogates the inner workings of his primary tool, the hand. Despite never actually disclosing the artist himself, the work comprises a self-portrait of sorts. It is a meditation on the mystery of the creative process and the interconnectedness between the artist’s identity and his daily work."[16]
