Julia Goodman creates low and high-relief handmade paper sculptures. Goodman’s work holds strong through lines with the history of rag paper as she gathers, sorts, tears, soaks, and pulps fabrics. She transforms discarded bedsheets and t-shirts into malleable pulp to press against brick walls, concrete, textiles, woodcarvings, flat surfaces, and even her own hands. By working with fabrics that exist in close proximity to our bodies -- objects that hold personal histories both mundane and profound -- she highlights layers of relationships and caretaking, the love and loss that shapes our lives.

Artistically, I learned a lot of new techniques and mediums while here. I had access to much more than before and I made the most of it. I tried everything I could and always talked to my teachers and peers about new ways I could make art. Every so often, I completely stepped out of my comfort zone. Experimenting with technique and testing my artistic boundaries has helped me realize how many paths I have to choose from in the art world and that makes me excited for the future.

Oxbow forced me to create, and by creating, I established foundation for my thought.

— Jamie Roux, Spring 2003

In the year leading up to Oxbow, I became obsessed with the program, I was entranced with reading testimonials and researching interdisciplinary learning styles. When I arrived at Oxbow I was never disappointed, despite my endless expectations. I will forever cherish the time I spent at Oxbow and the connections I made there. Through Oxbow I was able to hone into the ideas I was thinking about, to refine my artistic process and to see the world in a new light every day of my life. I'm not going to say that without Oxbow I wouldn't be the person I am today, but I will say that without Oxbow it would have taken me at least four years to become who I am after one Oxbow semester.
