I believe my work photographing electrified drawings positions a viewer between analysis and wonder. This work will be developed further. I will develop a new body of work which explores strategies including the use of color grounds, spatial illusions and conductive paint. The resultant works will be displayed in various venues. 2: Find a publisher for my works with electricity made over the past five years. I will seek a publisher for my photographic still life work which is based on historical research into the nature of electricity. Evaluation: successfully finding a publisher!
David Goldes developed a body of work in both photography and drawing that combine science-like observation and art strategies. The works were displayed in galleries, on social media sites and in the publication of Goldes' work. 2: Goldes did find a publisher for his work---Damiani. Electricities, a book of David Goldes' photographs was published by Damiani. A book signing occurred in Minneapolis at Midway Gallery. The book is distributed through ARTBOOK and available locally at the Mia and Walker bookstores.
