Originating from Saskatoon, now living in Halifax Graeme Patterson’s practice stems from a self developed approach to creating stop-motion animation. This “do it yourself” method is consistent in all facets of his production. Since graduating from NSCAD in 2002 his projects can be described as sculptural installations consisting of video, robotics, audio, music, and some interactive components. All of his work is based on personal memories and life experience with a mix of fantasy and surrealism, evincing the fluidity of imagination and burring the line between fact and fiction. He is represented by Taming The Wild (2008), a series of photographs and stop-motion puppets that humourously and poignantly the relationships and interactions we have with the natural world.
Graeme was a 2009 Sobey Award finalist.
