Ms. Goodman’s works are drawings using maps as the material between the lines. In a sense the maps are matter and the lines are the way they are organized. The pictures are clever. But I think you have to see the actual pieces themselves to get the real experience. I suggest that anyone who has an opportunity to see an exhibit of her work should check it out. I don’t think they work as well on the net.
