GLITHERO

Overview

Glithero is the creative partnership of Sarah van Gameren and Tim Simpson. The duo creates objects and installations that are the result of meticulous experimentation and material invention. Bridging the fields of art, design and craft, Glithero are not wed to one particular material or technique, but their works are identifiable by a conceptual idea; to foster a deeper understanding of the value that is created in the moment of making. Their works can be found in numerous public collections including the V&A Museum, the Centre National des Arts Plastiques and the Israel Museum.

Blueware Vessels:
Blueware is a series of ceramics depicting weeds taken from the pavements of London. The images on the vases are made using an original technique of cyanotypes on ceramics. Glithero invented this process in 2008 and in the ensuing years they have honed and refined their technique. The pieces shown here are early prototypes and capture the pursuit for the perfect vase.

Silverware Vessels:
Silverware is a series of porcelain vases depicting seaweeds foraged from the coast of the British Isles. The photograms on the vases have been made by directly fixing the seaweed to the surface and revolving the photo sensitive vessel in a beam of light. The artists leave small details behind that reveal evidence of the making process such as the marks of the small pieces of tape that once held the specimen in place.
