A very different kind of street art


Dryden Goodwin
'Cast' exhibition at the Photographer's Gallery, London 25 Sept - 16 Nov 08

Goodwin etches cobweb fine markings onto the faces of his passer by subjects on dark london streets and buses.  His subjects are unaware of Goodwin's shutter snapping, revealing the sombre rawness of the london psyche. 

Goodwin says his drawings are his way of 'thinking into the photograph'.  His etchings are projections of what he imagines the subjects to be thinking but somehow they seem so authentic that it is almost like he is reading their mind.
