About me
Rebecca Goddard is a lecturer and artist who uses photography, found photography and moving image to explore aspects of materiality, memory and place. Her practice research involves using materials as catalysts to explore geological, social psychological and political aspects through photography, moving image and sound.
She has explored Portland stone, quarried and mined on Portland, Dorset and used for Commonwealth war graves, and to face buildings of institutional governance and economic power, to consider how the physical working of a raw material shifts how it is understood, and how it can accumulate social, psychological and ideological values through use.
She is a PhD researcher at UWE, supervised by Prof. Shawn Sobers and Clare Hewitt. The enquiry explores an area in Avonmouth, near Bristol, dominated by global import and logistics, warehousing and waste management. It is also the home to ancient drainage systems, which allow the salt marshes there to be drained and built upon. The enquiry is titled 'The Rubbish Tip Archive; material understandings, ecological damage and photographic materiality'.
Area of expertise
Areas of expertise include photographic theory and practice, visual culture relating to photography, modernity and materiality. She teaches across undergraduate level and delivers theory and practice modules at UWE. She has extensive experience within the field of cultural studies and media practice.
