In 2017 he undertook a four-month visit to the United States for a mentorship with the American artist Stanley Whitney, funded by the Australia Council for the Arts. He holds a Bachelor of Visual Communications from Curtin University (2004). Griffiths’s work is held in private and public collections in Australia and internationally.

Dan Moynihan

A tactile practitioner with an engrained appreciation for common materials. Nothing is off the table, sculpture, installation, you name it. Conceptualised and executed to draw in the audience, the experience a considered and integral component of the work. Constructing instinctive reflections of reality, with obsessively detailed parallel worlds of wry undertone and subtle theatrics clearly a driving force. They laughed when he sat down at the piano, then he started playing.
