Lienors Torre is a glass maker and animator trained in the form and materiality of both media. She studied glass in the Czech Republic and at the Australian National University. She has an MFA in animation from CalArts (USA), a PhD from VCA (Melbourne University) and has taught masterclasses which combine animation and glass making at Pilchuck Glass School. Her creative practice explores the nexus between the screen and the object – between the ephemeral and the material, between time-based and stationary aspects, between light, optics and image. She is senior lecturer in Film, Television and Animation in the School of Communication and Creative Arts at Deakin University, Melbourne, and has co-authored books on Australian animation.
