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. Designers by training, they graduated in 2008 from the Royal College of Art in London. ⁠

Since then, their practice has meandered through different mediums, focusing on the creation of unique objects that can integrate art into everyday life.

For their Vessels, Glithero applied a photographic process to ceramic vases.⁠ “We are interested in the idea of photography as an object, and in the tradition of vases being a narrative tool, like the ancient Greek amphoras that have a myths and stories narrated on the outside. It’s an object that contains and at the same time carries something, like a vessel.⁠ The fragility of the material was important too, because it echoed that of the subject; the life of the plants we are using are equally fragile.”⁠
