blithe germ – MA/MFA/PhD

Based in London

Working across multiple disciplines - sculpture, photography, drawing, animation, print, sound and text - my work pays attention to the ephemeral and the unnoticed with an intent to nurture, care, revalue. I see processing as a way to hone awareness and practise the art of noticing, using materials that are either home grown, collected through chance encounters, or reclaimed from the discarded. Immersive, tactile, playful, and delicate - I create installations that offer room for contemplation, where human perspective and scale are temporarily suspended, for the audience to reflect upon the ambiguous, small, and transitory evidence of non-human experience. Through my gentle, yet potently charged endeavour, I am hoping to enable more ways of co-existing with nature.
