Harvey Goldman
About
Harvey Goldman is an American multidisciplinary artist and educator born on September 28, 1951, in Chicago, Illinois. He is renowned for his work in ceramics (1973–1987), characterized by asymmetrical organic forms and multi-fired surfaces evoking time and aging, digital imaging, experimental film, animation, visual music, and digital media. Goldman founded the Digital Media program at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, and his artwork explores themes of integrating opposites, relationships in perception, memory, and the interplay between sciences and arts, often blurring boundaries between realism and fantasy, still and moving images. His series include Veiled Ancestors, Coincidentia Oppositorum, and Extremities and Digits, which meditate on the creative process and natural elements from his woodland photography.[1][2][4][5]
