How does Sky Hopinka use his medium of choice? What inspired him to use video?
Sky Hopinka uses video and film as a way to explore the relationships between homeland, landscape, culture, and language. By breaking these elements apart and looking at how they interact, he’s able to reflect on identity and tradition. His work often focuses on how language shapes storytelling and how those stories connect to place and personal history.
What medium/material/process do you use and how? What inspired you to make your work that way?
I work primarily in digital illustration, using tools like Procreate and Adobe Illustrator. These programs allow me to build detailed characters and vibrant visual worlds with flexibility and precision. I was inspired to work this way by the media I grew up with—video games, animation, and graphic novels—which all blend strong visuals with storytelling. Using digital tools helps me capture that same energy and style while also giving me the freedom to experiment and bring my characters to life in a dynamic, engaging way.
