An old family farmhouse in rural Kentucky has been Michael Goodlett’s home, studio, and refuge for the past 26 years. Goodlett enjoys the privacy the secluded home affords him but also understands the need for connections with people.

Goodlett created a new body of work for this exhibition. The dual existence of these works—as intimate structures and as sculptures for public viewing—is reinforced by their display on a re-creation of the artist’s home’s flooring. The cast gypsum cement forms reflect a struggle with competing forces, resembling the human body yet remaining unidentifiable and mysterious. They are evocative meditations on the internal and the external, the private thought and the potential shared act.
