Central to Dryden Goodwin’s practice is a fascination with drawing. Often combining drawing with photography, film and large-scale screen-based installations with soundtracks. His work explores the physical and emotional dynamics of different environments, such as airports, hospitals, religious spaces and city networks; concerned with the interaction between people and qualities of time and space.
