“In the past I have thought of my work as a form of landscape, while that initial idea has shifted and grown, it still rings true. Landscape in my mind is an all-encompassing thing that includes visual markers, aesthetics, histories that have soaked into the earth and political climates and currents. I am very sensitive to my surroundings: seeing evidence of how it has evolved, taking note of the people, feeling the energies that inhabit it, and being present to observe—all have an impact on what I produce.”
– BR Goldstein
“My works are soul-selfies. Whereas most people today are taking pictures of themselves with their phones, I am painting snapshots of personal defining moments. My mixed-media assemblages are my selfies— focusing on the human figure exploring conditions and circumstances with themes revolving around aging, solitude, isolation, and ambiguity.”
