Maisie Goodfellow

Maisie Goodfellow (b. 2002, Edinburgh) uses her world-building approach to art as a way of creating a parallel life wherein she can attempt to make sense of her experiences by translating discomfort into costume, language into the visual, pain into punchline, et cetera. She is interested in themes of performing humanness, being out of time or place, and the negotiation between intense emotion with domesticity. Colour is important to her. She believes that beauty still has a value, but that ugliness does too- and that it belongs in art and comedy- and we should respect both. Much of her thinking is funnelled through films that haven’t come into being yet. She thinks through making.
