Rachel Goodison’s work includes installations, sculpture, paintings and works on paper. Her materials tend to incorporate the ‘everyday’ and familiar: from discarded textiles and yarn, dried food and sweets, to excess packaging and found objects.

She explores the parallels between the human and natural worlds, seeking shared patterns and shapes to emphasise that we are essentially all part of the same matter. In particular, she is interested in the largely ‘unseen’ wonder of the natural world, whether plant, animal, bird or insect. She often magnifies small shapes or details to a human scale, intending to engage viewers in a celebration of nature’s complexity and beauty. At the same time, she seeks to remind us of our destructive impact on nature, and therefore ultimately on our own survival.
