Good has always been attracted by the obvious age ... the natural art of surface deterioration. From her work in Savannah’s downtown homes, she found beautiful layers of paint chafing one against the other ... wallpaper pieces and bits of signage, all colliding in often times stunning compositions that no artist could avoid being inspired by. Coupled with the boxcars that roll right past her studio, Good has found a limitless source of inspiring imagery. Luckily for Good, her work with faux finishing has given her the skills with which to convincingly represent the very surfaces she finds so enticing. But far from a photographic representation, Good sets a series of colors and gestures into motion on the canvas and then, through sanding, scraping and burnishing, uncovers the resulting composition. This is more a painting of response than ego-driven control. The addition of Good’s signature lustrous mica pigments layers a baffling element of light and color into the painting’s surface, allowing a shifting, changing experience for the viewer.
