Coral Eden
Brad Goldberg
Terminal J, Second Level Meeters and Greeters Lobby, Open to the Public
Two massive stone walls, three stories high, each measuring approximately 30 feet wide by 90 feet high. The imagery, derived from a series of macro-photographs of brain coral, is carved in marble from Italy. The coral relief is shallow at the base of the wall and increases in depth as the stone rises, allowing the coral pattern to subtly emerge through light and shadow. As passengers gaze up at the expansive wall, the increasing depth of the forms suggests a view upward from the bottom of the ocean toward the atmosphere and sun.
Based in Dallas, Texas, Brad Goldberg is an artist who sees his work as a fusion between sculpture, the landscape and the built environment. His works are viewed not as isolated objects but rather as spiritual components of larger spatial experiences. It is an art that aspires to escape categorical definitions, restrictions or limitations.
