A New Zealand-born, Melbourne-based contemporary artist, Blincoe studied photography at Massey University in Wellington, followed by years working in advertising honing his craft. He completed his Masters of Contemporary Art, VCA, in 2019. Jeremy’s work explores the concepts of metamorphosis and infinite becomings through a multi-disciplinary practice focusing on sculpture and photography.

Jeremy Blincoe sculptures reflect he non-hierarchical curiosity for materials and processes. They often combine disparate materials including wood, glass, silicon, steel, acrylic, clay, resin and foam and use an array of processes and technologies including 3D modelling, hand-carving, welding, video and photography. Jeremy Blincoe start with a vision for the work informed by snippets from the everyday and readings of philosophy, anthropology and science-fiction, but then allow the materials and processes to shift and inform the making.

Exploring this tangled web of relations is increasingly pertinent. The burning of fossil fuels has altered the Earth’s climate, technological devices have become bodily extensions which shape and alter our behaviour and recent innovations in artificial intelligence prompt us to rethink who and what we are. In focusing on these concepts, Jeremy Blincoe seek to dissolve the“oneself”, let the world in and nurture kinship with other species, objects and our surrounds.
