Dryden Goodwin

Synopsis: At the heart of Goodwin’s art is a fascination with drawing. But he combines drawing with photography, film and large-scale screen-based installations. He is engaged with time as well as line, and with the sculptural potential of two-dimensional images. Other concerns in his art are: the city, ideas of public and private, voyeurism, desire and emotional distance. Many of Goodwin’s key works are featured in this documentary, including his early animations like Heathrow (1994) and the three-screen installation Closer (2002) which features covert video footage of strangers in the city whose features the artist is tracing with a laser pen. He discusses the ambitious eight-screen Dilate (2003) and his film Flight (2006).
