Neil Goodman

“As an artist and area native, I have been greatly influenced by the industrial rustbelt topography of northwest Indiana. I have often marveled at the fantastic and uniquely sculptural shapes of many of the mills, bridges, barges, and cranes indigenous to the area. My work is both a reflection of my environment as well as a visual link to it. My interest in locating this body of work in northwest Indiana seems pertinent to both the aesthetic quality of the images as well as its influences.”

- Neil Goodman
