interim is a collaboration between UK-based digital artists, Ben Trill and Esther Yarnold, and was established in spring 2004 whilst studying at The Arts Institute at Bournemouth. From September 2006 interim’s collaboration became a full-time partnership based at Lighthouse, Poole’s Centre for the Arts, offering a diverse range of creative services.

interim’s aim is to create playful, engaging and aesthetic art and design work, for broad and diverse audiences, focusing on issues of negative space in both real and unreal worlds. Inspired by the physical properties and constraints of a location, situation or brief, the partnership brings together their different disciplines and aspirations enabling the creation of diverse and compelling work. They work closely with people to encourage creativity and reflection, resulting in high-quality end products.

Ben Trill is a digital designer based in Bournemouth. He works in video, animation and graphic design. His work starts with small sketches and drawings, fusing real objects with digital elements to turn intricate objects into their most simple shapes and forms. Ben also works in education and public art.




Esther Yarnold is an artist and curator based in London and Dorset. She works in digital, installation and book arts, creating work concerned with issues of pattern, repetition and abstraction in relationship to the structures of social and scientific being. Esther also works in education, public art and design.
