At MacDowell, in 2016, Griffin finished an installation for the exhibition "In Scene" at the Schneider Museum of Art in Ashland Oregon among other works. During his 2023 residence, he collaborated with William E. Jones on a project to be realized as a film within a multimedia installation. Their goal is to investigate how the image, sculpture, and body move in space, and how that translates into film.
