Experimental Animation

Frederick Freebury Williams

Frederick Williams is an artist from St. Ives, Cornwall who works primarily in oil painting and digital animation. He has studied at Falmouth School of Art, the Slade and the Royal College of Art, during which time his practice has increasingly become part of a single fantasy world, as characters, places and symbols began recurring in accidental feedback loops.

Experimental Animation

Made under the secret and mysterious pseudonym 'thmnwh hsfld', Frederick's work simultaneously creates and recounts the events of a continuously fictioned world through animated videos, paintings and associated writing, all drawn from a process of diagram-distillation. These worlds and worlds-inside-worlds are defined by the magical and ritual agency afforded the characters and entities within and by an ascendency of magic-over-science and Mediaeval-over-Modern that allows seemingly mundane activities and spaces to become imbued with Weird and Magickal intention and meaning.
