BOB GOLDSTEIN
I am a scientist who makes art. I co-teach a cross-disciplinary Printmaking and Biology studio art course at UNC Chapel Hill with artist and professor Beth Grabowski, and I do printmaking at home from a studio that you might easily mistake for a shed... given the rakes, shovels, and lawnmower you'd find in there.
ARTIST STATEMENT
My artwork often involves subtle levity in the face of serious or dire situations. Humor has a long history of helping people rethink entrenched ideas, by circumventing naturally defensive responses to more direct forms of confrontation. And humor can sometimes make real, human connections across broad divides.
