#4 ART TALK with Joshua Goode, American artist and professor of arts

Hi, I'm Bianca Vinther, creator of The Pointless Artist. On
Tuesday, 15 February 2022, I had an exciting and very funny
conversation with Joshua Goode, an American
artist who teaches fine arts at Tarrant County College in Forth
Worth, Texas (USA), manages The Carillon, the college's art
gallery, and is also in charge of the college's artist residency
programme.


Joshua has been connected to Spielberg’s Indiana Jones many times
before (he loves the character and movies by the way, so he’s
always flattered by the comparison). He has often been referred
to as “Indiana Jones of Art”. Listen to this
podcast episode to learn why.


We spoke about his motivation as an artist, the
red-thread of his work, the way he sees, and
his creative process. We also spoke about
how he shares his work with
others, the process of interpretation of the objects he
creates, and the intricacies of producing a story and of
conveying a personal narrative to others. In this art talk,
Joshua reveals his secret to transforming
everyday objects into meaningful ones that others can connect
with. He also discusses inspiration and artist block, which are
at the heart of The Pointless Artist Blog, and shares what he
finds most important in life.


Via The Pointless Artist Blog, I support the
creative energy of life and the artists who contribute to
transforming this world into a freer, kinder, more inclusive,
caring, transparent, and compassionate place to live. I firmly
believe in the passion for art, the importance of sharing
knowledge and experiences, and the power of personal stories to
bring us together.
