Mansfield Art Center Presents Darren Goodman’s Trail of Tears

Darren Goodman, Cinarary Urns

Ohio glass blower and installation artist Darren Goodman will bring Trail of Tears to the Mansfield Art Center. Leaving behind a Trail of Tears, his work Tears of Joy will be on display, January 16 through February 27. This will be the center’s largest blown-glass installation and exhibition to date.

Since Goodman’s Glass Experience performance piece at the Toledo Museum of Art and his first solo show at the Cincinnati Art Museum highlighting his Tears of Joy, Goodman has been leaving behind him a trail of tears—Tears of Joy that is.

Darren Goodman, Fantasia Glass Sculptures

In 2011, Goodman built a mobile furnace that he has used to facilitate creating glass with people outside of the traditional glass studio. Over the past decade, Goodman has traveled around the US and across the seas to volcanoes in Hawaii and the streets of Paris, sharing his art and process.

This exhibition will bring together installations and works from the ten-year journey.

The main installation will be a grand display and a rainbow of colors, referencing the past and present, combining nature with glass, and reflecting on our dependency and connection to nature.
