GREEN CATERPILLAR GOES FOR A WALK

Tim Meakins is an Artist and Designer based in Perth, Western Australia. Working across sculpture, painting, print, animation and publishing, he employs a visual grammar drawn from the history (and present) of computer graphics/operating systems and cartoons to create intensely energetic propositions around the ever-mutating forms, limits, plasticity, optical register and possibilities of digital and analogue states-of-being. Through processes of digital prototyping and industrial fabrication, he explores the human connection and physicality, examining how far the body can be pushed, stretched, and resculpted. These creative outcomes often appear as cartoonish manifestations of strength and power; bright characters in demonstrative poses, flexing and lifting heavy objects whilst referencing an array of cultural tropes, from remixed folklore and worldbuilding to fantasy and gym culture.
