Further exploring our innate curiosity and fascination for other people, and the contact possible through looking, Goodwin has created the three sequences of images, entitled Drawn to Know, in which he works with photographs of strangers he has taken surreptitiously in public spaces. These individuals have been caught at moments of introspection. Approaching these small portraits, the viewer becomes aware of how Goodwin has traced and worked with the contours and subtleties of the individual heads and faces, replacing each original photograph, eventually totally working over them with drawing done with a digital stylus and tablet. In Drawn to Know - 14 X Woman fourteen frames, taken from video footage tracking a woman as she is passed by, are closely examined. In the matrix of drawn marks Goodwin holds and considers this fleeting encounter longer. |
