DESCRIPTION
Archival ink on museum-quality cotton rag paper | 2019
McGoldrick’s photorealistic still life drawings capture the intimacy and life of the objects we wear, eat, and handle on a daily basis. These used, pre-adored, and often discarded objects are instilled with a sense of curiosity and sentimentality towards the people that once utilized these now forgotten remnants of daily life. McGoldrick’s depiction of casino “artifacts” — an old slots cup from Downtown Las Vegas and an unused matchbook from a club in Reno — convey how these forlorn objects, once symbols of the potential of delivering the American dream, are now memorialized, with every crease and crevice filled with the possibility of what could have been.
