Holly Goodridge is a neurodivergent artist working across hand-knitted garments, large-scale crochet installations, and participatory practice. Her work explores neurodivergent embodiment, sensory politics, and collective care. Through the display of hand-knitted sweaters and installations that audiences are invited to touch she create spaces that encourage a slowing down, and shared connection.
Holly recently completed her Master of Fine Art at RMIT University in which she won the Lowenstein's Art Management Award (2025). She has also exhibited in contemporary galleries across Melbourne, including 'The Shape of Rest' at Mailbox Gallery (2025), 'Shrine to the Childhood Friendships We Wish We Had' at Bus Projects (2024), and 'Wrestling Before the Gateway' at Assembly Point (2023. In 2026 she will will have work at showing at Queen Victoria Women's Centre (sept) and at Flinders Lane Gallery (Nov). Her works are also held in the State Library of Victoria’s collection (2025).
Living in a body that moves differently through the world. I knit to regulate, survive, and resist. My practice transforms invisible neurodivergent labor into tangible spaces of connection and care.
