Rachel Goodison’s practice includes site-specific installations, sculpture & curatorial projects. She is particularly interested in bringing local communities together - schools, artists & locals - to build a creative narrative that reflects a sense of place through its surrounding natural environment. This sculptural response to ‘place’ will often be thematic or through form and materials. Her work also explores parallels and shared patterns between the human and natural worlds.
Her practice is playful - she often uses familiar materials in unfamiliar ways, and magnifies small, natural forms to a human scale, bringing our attention to the unseen and unnoticed. In this way she seeks to emphasise we are all essentially part of the same matter - part of nature, not apart from it - something we tend to forget, to our own cost, and to that of the environment around us.
