Mike Goldby

Stretch (Big Red)

Constructed from repurposed activewear jerseys stretched over a wooden framework and enhanced with acrylic paint, Mike Goldby's *Stretch (Big Red)* transforms athletic fabric into a bold, tactile composition dominated by vivid red tones. The work explores tension and materiality, using the inherent elasticity of sportswear to create a taut surface that blurs the boundary between sculpture and painting.
