“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.”

“I don’t need very much now,”
said the boy, “just a quiet place to sit and rest.
I am very tired”“Well,” said the tree,
straightening herself up
as much as she could,
”well, an old stump is good
for sitting and resting.
Come, Boy, sit down.
Sit down and rest.”
