R. Mitchell Williamson

Knoxville, TN

I'm a graphic designer, illustrator, motion designer, animator, sculptor, ceramicist, leather worker, software integrator, & teacher. I like dogs and play a bit of guitar. I have degrees in Graphic Design (BFA, MFA), Philosophy (BA), and Religious Studies (BA) from the University of Tennessee. I've taught in the College of Advertising and Public Relations at the University of Tennessee & the Communications Design Technology Department at Pellissippi State Community College.



I create intricate sculptural objects that try to draw in the viewer. Somewhat edgy but innocent looking machines and miniatures which appear mechanically designed and built for some unknown purpose but, with closer inspection, are more than their external appearance. Through these sculptural objects, which incorporate time-based media, I deconstructing the parameters of the frame and objectifying the video image as part of the sculpture.
