The Shodo series combines sumi ink, Japanese paper and digital drawing. Goldberg began working with sumi ink in 2005, influenced by his grandmother, the calligrapher Kimiye Ebisu. His marks form a personal gestural language rather than representations of kanji. Physical ink drawings provide a starting point for digital forms, including three-dimensional structures developed from gestures drawn on a tablet. The New Plastic Shodo works explore computer rendering and modern abstraction within the Shodo series, bringing the movement of ink into digitally constructed space.
