Kate Goodrich ( b.1977 ) is a multi-disciplinary artist. She lives in Hackney where she grows the materials for her practice. Having spent two decades working in the photography industry, Goodrich turned her well trained eye towards her own practice and love of Nature. Using traditional methods to preserve flora forms, Goodrich fuses her specimens with distorted sheet glass, camera-less photography, photomontage and mixed media. A non-interventionist approach is threaded through Goodrich’s work. A practice which draws from a uniquely broad knowledge base. Her utilisation of biodynamic principles to nurture her materials reaches apogee in her solo show Gunneraceae.

Her work has been published in The New York Times, FT Weekend, The Independent, Gasoline,  Modern Living, Grandiflora, The Museum of British Folklore, Hole & Corner, Elle Decoration UK and RHS.

Goodrich’s works are held in private collections globally, and are part of the Museum of British Folklores permanent collection.
