ART: San Francisco artist Julia Goodman will be exhibiting her series Eleven Months Mourning, for the first time in its entirety, alongside a multimedia body of work connecting handmade paper with mortality and material scarcity, which "pushes the material beyond the ubiquitous two-dimensions into the realm of sculpture, focusing on texture, movement, ephemerality and presence."
