Colour / Form 1971 -1974

              
The influence of 'Op' and
              'Pop' from exhibitions seen in London and New York plus the first
              contact with Islamic Art in southern Spain and Morocco produced
              a series of paintings using strongly coloured forms floating
              in space; chalices, cones and fans etc. Titles such as Alhambra,'Fez',
              and 'African Ripple' acknowledge the influences.

              
'colour exists as
              an intense phenomenon: it literally glows, radiates from these
              usually large canvases, where shapes burgeon and float, freely
              as flying saucers,'

'By the early Seventies
              Goddard achieves a transcendental and ethereal atmosphere in
              canvases that develop from his study of the interaction of colour.
              If in their centralised designs and exotic colour Goddard's works
              evoke certain aspects of Eastern culture, they also radiate the
              luminous glow of isotopes benignly harnessed to the service of
              humanity.'
