Artist Bio:
Having completed their BA in Painting at Camberwell College of Arts, UAL, Seth Randall-Goddard took a break from making, focusing on their community work and volunteering. Through working with the print collection of Pollock's Toy Museum and with Jack Fawdry-Tatham's mentorship, Randall-Goddard began making prints; finding relief printing to be an incredible vehicle for storytelling, as well as a very democratic form of art-making or crafting.
Randall-Goddard's practice revolves around history, and its retelling within a communal setting. They work with printmaking because of its history in sharing collective cultural knowledge. This relates to Randall-Goddard's own family histories of Mexico and England, which both have profound relationships with woodblock printmaking. They are constantly relating their work to that of other craftspeople, storytellers, and the natural world. Isobel Neviazsky and Marc Chagall are influences, as well as the poetry of Rilke and Seamus Heaney and the writing of Jose Estaban Muñoz. All this pushes them forwards.
