Circular Thinking

The great thing about art is that you can make up your own stories. Take the new exhibit “Connecting the Dots: The Union Series” by James Goodwill. The intricate detail on Goodwill’s acrylic lines and pinpoints unite to form circular spheres, some with tiny bursts and vine-like ruptures, others more unified, with faint warbles along their surfaces. You could say it represents life in its many stages, from nucleus to fertility to planetary occupant, and you wouldn’t be wrong. To the artist it’s a statement about global integration, the fusing of human relationships through mass-media, and its role in how our species develops.
