BIOPHILIA
Since attending the Children’s School of Science in Woods Hole during the summer as a child, I have been fascinated by marine organisms, microscopic and macroscopic images, and ecology. The following original images are from that inspiration .
This is a recent series of image from many original sources, including AI-generated, watercolor, digital photographs, digital paintings and sketchbook drawings. Biophilia is the human tendency to emotionally connect and bond with nature.

The hydra was created for the BOSTON ARTS FESTIVAL on the Charles River Lagoon. Like the story of Heracles, cauterizing the hydra, Goldman would pole out on a raft, (Huck Finn Style) into the middle of the Lagoon with tanks of helium, filling up each “head” of the hydra and cauterizing the end. The Dichromate print is but one of series of gum prints that accompanied the project.
