‘Inside Out’
Goodie, believes it’s important for women and gender nonconforming people to have a role in imagining, shaping and building the spaces we experience. They bring more perspectives and different lived experiences to the table. Her mural overlays a fictional architecture over an existing architecture, creating a scene that feels in between interior and exterior. This poses questions about the relationships between private and public, and the imagined and real, suggesting different points of view & interpretations of reality simultaneously.
