Daniel Cuadra
MOCAP workshop
Virtual Reality: Motion Capture for Live Action.
Hazel Griffiths
I am heavily influenced by both the textures and forms from the natural world and the myths and mysticism influenced by it; returning to the earth and our pagan roots. I create future-scapes and visionary lands interwoven with my own dreamscapes and spirituality.
Although I am typically a figurative painter, I have recently embarked on a series of imaginary landscapes based on emotions and our inner selves: each landscape represents an inner sate, a composite of all the environments we have encountered tethered to memories and emotions. Each has its own colors and contours and is a representation of assimilated externalities.
