Large colour photograms
" The dark turn ( in Godman's work) continues in Evidence from the Religion of Technology (1993 - 94), a 22metre long composite photogram, arranged as a continuous circle or rectangle around a room, with photograms of the debris of technology broken by three verticals - a woman, a man, and a skeleton, all placed against a coloured background that runs through the spectrum from living green to to toxic violet, nand back again. The installation reminds us that life as we know it can exist only in a relatively narrow band of conditions and that our religion of technology threatens these conditions, not least in its use of chemicals."
