Griffith's work materializes from associations of everyday activities as ideas to map out the streams of consciousness interrelating with events from another time and space. The generated references through mixed media and digital markings resonate a range of elements from traditional folk art to contemporary graphics. Extruding from the fascination of music and noise, Griffith's work shifts toward exploratory findings of unseen language that bring it into an altered statement.
