GLENN GOLDBERG
Most artists, or those who put anything out into the world, want what they create, or what they say to matter. To have impact beyond themselves, to say something which resonates so deeply into our world that the influence of who they are carries true significance. We do this so that we can not only feel that impact in our own lifetime – celebrate the genius of these creations with our friends and our family – but that after our last breath, these objects, paintings, stories ripple out and live far after our own time. What most fail to realize is that we often have no control over how our creations live on after we place them into the world, at best, we can let go, allowing the tide to take them, and hope that beyond ourselves, someone, somewhere, felt it. I can say that I have felt the ripple of Glenn Goldberg.
