Her interest in community places is evident in the lithograph Inverse: Open Section where real and imagined spaces are combined to create psychologically-probing, complex, geometrical constructions that reference human architecture. Her work has drawn comparisons to the surreal, distorted inventions of Giovanni Battista Piranesi (Italian, 1720-1778) and the mathematically-specific spaces of M.C. Escher (Dutch, 1898-1972). Goldsleger is currently the Morris Eminent Scholar in Art at Augusta University and the Morris Museum of Art recently organized a solo presentation of her work titled Unquiet Territories. She has received two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships and is featured in many private and public collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum and the High Museum.
