“Goliath’s practice is grounded in that recovery, with works that test how art can create space for trauma to unfold and unfurl – to be worked through relationally, laterally, personally – in the name of restoration through recognition. That is, to hold space for witnessing as much as to bear witness; not through language nor the intellectualisation of the horrors of systemic violence, but through the complex web of emotions and states that define its ever-shifting and far-reaching textures, both within the body and without.”
