About the Artist

Through a variety of medium she looks at the in between space of the real and the imagined. Theatre and the language of the staged space is central to the work. Goodwin stages scenes that are layered and repeated, fragmenting but also framing this in between space. Architectural elements both created and found combine to act as this stage. The use of fabric and reference to costumed forms are suggestive of a puppet/prop like form of a feminine presence without an actual human presence. Print in the work acts as object or prop within a space as well as being the staged space itself, thus acting as a sort of mise-en-abyme of an imagined reality.
