PROJECTS
These are Jon Goldman's FEATURED WORKS

I am creating a series of artworks employing a visual archive depicting the incongruous state of surreality surrounding the concept of ‘truth’. This monumental work is TRUTH LOST AT SEA. When the process of building the 48-foot x 8-foot aluminum version of this sculpture is underway, I will post its progress. I intend it to appear in a variety of waterways like Boston Harbor and The Hudson River, and highways (I-95) as a performative way to artistically represent the dire nature of truth under assault.
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.

from wikipedia: “Telling the bees “is a Western European tradition in which bees are told of important events, including deaths, births, marriages and departures and returns in the keeper’s household. If the custom was omitted or forgotten and the bees were not “put into mourning,” then it was believed a penalty would be paid, such as the bees leaving their hive, stopping the production of honey or dying.
The custom is best known in England but has also been recorded in Ireland, Wales, Germany, Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Bohemia (now Czechia) and the United States.
Little is known about the origins of this practice, although there is some unfounded speculation that it is loosely derived from or perhaps inspired by ancient Aegean notions about bees’ ability to bridge the natural world and the afterlife.”
In the case for the series APHORISTIC EXTINCTIONS, bees are alpha pollinators and are critical to the natural landscape and to human survival, yet they are constantly under threat from pesticides, habitat encroachment and loss of green space through overdevelopment.
In late 2001, we lived in Concord, Massachusetts. In the shadow of the recent destruction from what has become known as September 11th, we had been planning a major trip with our two children, aged 13 and 8 at the time. We took our two children out of school, and began a circumnavigation of […]
This is from the series APHORISTIC EXTINCTIONS where the artist pairs colloquial titles about animals as a way to reveal human’s fear of other creatures, and to the unfortunate decimation of species.

TRUTH LOST AT SEA (MIRROR VERSION) afloat in Martha’s Vineyard Sound (Composited image) TRUTH LOST AT SEA is the largest of the TRUTH PROJECT sculptures in the series. It is to be fabricated from aluminum with an irregular hole pattern on the surface to let the internal LED light be seen from a distance and […]
This is the ONLY FUZZY TRUTH I know of. My sculpture, FUZZY TRUTH is intended as a satirical and provocative artwork. My goal is to illustrate how Truth, as a foundational concept of democracy, has increasingly lost its legitimacy via bot-driven algorithms that strive for viral exposure. Welcome to disinfoworld. On October 17, 2005, Stephen […]
