The Red Room (2020) is a dazzling exploration of materiality, seduction, and the dynamics of feminine identity. It is meticulously crafted from hand-stitched sequins on canvas, a signature medium for Goodman, who is celebrated for her innovative use of cosmetic and craft materials in large-scale, tactile compositions.

The shimmering surface of The Red Room immerses the viewer in an atmosphere at once intimate and theatrical. Sequins, a material often associated with glamour and fashion, become a subversive tool in Goodman’s hands—both alluring and disruptive. By painstakingly hand-stitching each element, the artist imbues the work with a sense of labor and care, calling attention to traditionally feminine forms of making that are frequently overlooked in the context of contemporary art.
