Simon Hamlyn
Simon Hamlyn is an artist-animator based in Bristol whose work is underpinned by experimental approaches and process-led exploration. He has taken particular interest in configuring various printmaking techniques for animation - developing hybrid processes which make viable new ways of working. With an interest in exploring themes around social history, he is fascinated by the complex mythologies behind our built environment.
