Griffin Cordell is an Interdisciplinary Artist that explores the limits of Sculpture, Painting, textiles, and writing. Griffin currently works out of his fine art gallery in Greer SC, exploring concepts of dreams, memories and spirituality within his work. He is an alum of the South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities and earned his BFA in Fine Arts with a concentration in sculpture from Winthrop University.
"The creative process has led me into researching many subjects, but the relationships we have with our own dreams, memories, and spirituality is a concept that consistently shows up within my work. Ambiguity, intuition, absurdity and other ideas of the unknown heavily influence my creative process. I aim for my work to be spontaneous, suggestive of narrative, and speak in a language that encourages an unfamiliar dialogue, challenging our perception of the sensical world we inhabit.
I work in any medium that is available to me, but often drawing, sculpture, and space are incorporated within my work. Most of my ideas start in my sketchbook, but the end result is never the same as my initial idea which excites me. Living in the process of creativity and letting go of expectations with work is important to me. Through following my creative intuitions, I can continue exploring and understanding the importance of life and sharing my experiences with people around me."
