The name Seraphina is a lyrical whisper to the divine, echoing celestial choirs of seraphim, those fiery beings of light and purity in the traditions of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
The term “Cascade” evokes visions of a gentle yet relentless flow, reminiscent of a waterfall that graces the landscape with its persistent motion. It is a metaphor for the dynamic process of change, symbolizing the continuous flow of time and the inevitable transformation that accompanies it. In the context of the sculpture, it represents the parts of the female form that seem to be in a state of graceful descent, drifting away like petals in the wind or leaves carried by a stream. So much is gained in the transformation into womanhood, but some things, like innocence, are left behind.
“The Cascade of Seraphina” is not just a name; it is a narrative. It tells the story of a divine form caught in a perpetual dance of creation and dissolution. The bicycle chains, once part of a functional object, are reborn into a new aesthetic. They weave around and through the female torso, outlining its shape, defining its contours, and then, in places, they break free. These floating elements are poignant reminders of the impermanence of form and the fleeting nature of beauty.
Yet, even as some parts seem to dissipate, the sculpture retains an undeniable grace. The right arm raised towards the sky speaks to the resilience of the spirit, an unspoken yearning to discover what else is out there. It is as if Seraphina herself is reaching from the confines of her cascading form, seeking something beyond, something untouched by the ravages of time and loss.
It is a visual symphony representing the intangible journey all women undertake—from the nothingness into beauty, from the ordinary into the extraordinary. The sculpture stands as a testament to the power of art to encapsulate the complexities of existence, to hold within its form the paradoxes of life—the presence of absence, the weight of weightlessness, the form of formlessness. It is, in every sense, a cascade flowing through the medium of reclaimed metal, moltent steel, and flying sparks, whispering the ancient tales of creation and the modern sagas of transformation.
(The metal bar seen coming up from the floor into the underside of the sculpture is the stand that was used during photography. It is not part of the sculpture. Seraphina is built to hang on a prominent wall. The process to create her is labor intensive and time consuming. It requires the bicycle chain be separated into its many individual links so they can be used in the formation of a much more lifelike form. Each bicycle chain link is then hand welded to the next forming one solid structure. The metal is sealed with an acrylic lacquer to aid in the protection from rust.)

In the heart of Atlanta, Georgia, a city known for its vibrant arts scene and rich cultural history, resides an artist of multiple disciplines. Goodman works in both the written word and the tangible medium. He is a welder of steel, a worker of clay, and the author of thirteen acclaimed novels. His name is known to many, and his work speaks for itself, transcending the boundaries of traditional art forms and challenging the conventions of creativity.
His studio, nestled in a bustling neighborhood, is a testament to his diverse skills and interests. Here, amidst the hum of machinery and the scent of molten metal, he welds steel with the imagination of a dreamer. His creations, often large-scale sculptures, are intricate labyrinths of metal that twist and turn, casting mesmerizing shadows and reflecting the world in their polished surfaces. Each piece is a story in itself, a narrative expressed not in words, but in the language of lines, shapes, textures, and steel.
Adjacent to his welding station, he works with clay, molding it into forms that conjure emotions buried within us all. His clay works, much like his steel sculptures, bear the unmistakable mark of a unique style. They are robust yet elegant, their surfaces adorned with smoothness that hint at the beauty of the human form and the artist’s deep respect for the natural world.
Beyond his visual art, he is also a prolific writer, having authored thirteen acclaimed novels. His books, much like his metal sculptures and clay works, are richly detailed and deeply symbolic. They explore themes of transformation and renewal, mirroring his own artistic process of turning raw materials into something new and beautiful. These themes however are the harbinger of the artist's inner pain and hidden demons. A survivor of depression, Goodman pulls his knowledge of true darkness and then splashes it into metal, clay, or canvas.
His home city of Atlanta plays a significant role in his work. The city’s dynamic energy, its blend of old and new, echoes in his art and writing. He draws inspiration from the city’s architecture, its people, and its ever-changing landscape. Yet, his work is not just a reflection of the city, but also a commentary on it, a dialogue with it.
Perhaps what sets this artist apart is his passion for the environment. This passion permeates all aspects of his work, from the materials he chooses to the themes he explores in his novels. He often works with recycled or reclaimed materials, turning what was once discarded into something beautiful and valuable. This transformation is not just physical, but also symbolic, representing the potential for change and renewal.
His work challenges us to see the world differently, to see the potential in the old and discarded, and to appreciate the beauty in transformation and change. His art is not just a product of his skills and imagination, but also a reflection of his values and his vision for a more sustainable and fulfilling world.
