Rosemary Goodell's newest body of work, Encounters, is a personal reflection on our culture - via color, shape, and texture - that aims to create a moment that is at the same time familiar and unexpected

Goodell's monoprints use unique shapes of her own making. Each one is made from reusable materials, allowing her to repeat the shape across prints within a series and recontextualize them based on placement and surroundings within a composition.

“These prints are visual encounters. An encounter is an unexpected experience something to be faced with or someone to be met with. Our lives are a series of encounters with ourselves, others, and nature. Some of these prints illustrate social encounters.” - Goodell
