About Harrison Trinder

I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Kinetic Imaging from Virginia Commonwealth University and earned my Master’s from the School of Visual Arts.

​

I primarily focus on 2D and 3D mixed-media animation with an emphasis on sound, using a wide range of applications and tools. My style emerges through the consistent clash of visual elements, creating a structure that feels both slow and chaotic. Much of my work explores narratives and environments designed to capture a strong sense of place.

​

This often results in a tone of nostalgic horror, prioritizing abstract stylization over cinematic flow and continuity. I create because I enjoy the process, even when I can’t fully explain why certain works take shape. What matters to me is preserving the spark of emotional inspiration and striving to make something I haven’t seen before.

​

My influences include Henry Darger, Jan Švankmajer, cults, true crime, fake crime, trees, the California Raisins (53 and counting), tall buildings, countless films, and really anything made purely for the sake of expression.
