About
Harriet Goodall is a leading contemporary fibre artist and sculptor working on Gundungarra/Dharawal escarpment country, Robertson, in Southern NSW, Australia.
Known for transforming natural and reclaimed materials into evocative, large-scale works that speak to identity, landscape, and ecology, over the past 15 years, her practice has evolved from contemporary basket-making into a distinctive fusion of traditional basketry, tapestry, and metalwork with painted and stitched canvas. Her work is exhibited regularly and held in numerous private and commercial collections. contributing to the evolving discourse on fibre art in Australia and beyond.
Goodall’s formative years in a creative farming family on a large Australian cropping and grazing property instilled in her a deep connection to the landscape, which continues to inform her artistic vision. She draws on the rhythms of agricultural life, using meditative processes such as weaving, stitch, and painting with earth pigments to echo the textures and cycles of nature. Her creations often evoke the fragility of ecosystems and the interdependence between human and plant life.
Represented exclusively by Gallery Jennings Kerr in New South Wales, Goodall is committed to exploring craft, community, and environmental consciousness through art and immersive experiences.
Her in person and online teachings have created a springboard for thousands of students into their own fiber art practices and connections to weavers around the world.
