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.

Our daughter graduated summa cum laude from NYU with a double major in Studio Art and Art History. She is now working for Calvin Klein. She is contemplating getting a law degree and pursuing a career repatriating art objects. She still keeps in touch with several of her Oxbow classmates and they have regular reunions in Manhattan... I would say that Oxbow was the best semester that any of my four children spent in their cumulative 16 years of high school. Our daughter was the right kid, and for the right kid you do a wonderful job. You changed her life. Thank you.

Advice I would give to future students is to just do it and come to Oxbow and not overthink it because it will most likely (99.9%) be the best decision you have made in your life.

If at any point Oxbow doubts the good it does, I just want to reassure you all that you’re changing the lives of young artists every semester.
