Kim J. Vermeulen

Kim Vermeulen is a British born (c1982) artist-photographer, living in Epe, The Netherlands. She is a experienced professional photographer having worked in this field for over 20 years. 

In her photographic practice she produces project work both personally and collaboratively. Through her academic background she is familiar in working with assignment briefs to develop concepts and ideas. Kim has a BA Honours Degree in Photography (2007) and a Master’s Degree in Photography (2012). Her work utilises the ‘Art of the Project’ framework for the earnest representation of subject, within a researched framework that is also essentially limitless, allowing a blurring of subjectivity and objectivity, experience and experiment, documentary and aesthetic.

Her personal work approach is a form of meditation; present in a space and time only through the lens. She is often attracted to a sense of the mysterious, the ancient and natural forces, through these themes she feels freedom to observe, wonder, daydream, and craft the perception.

Kim has exhibited works across the UK since 2006, including being selected for The Royal Photographic Society International Print Exhibition 157.

Her most recent project, ‘Seeking the Ancestors’ explores ancient histories, stories, myths and legends, both real and imagined. Other works include, ‘Toxic Paradise’, a work addressing the difficult task of visually representing psychological abuse. ‘iamBreastfeeding’, is a participatory project considering contemporary constructed ideas of motherhood, with 57 mothers spanning 2 years. And ‘The Red Balloon,’ which is a project made together with her eldest daughter about her chronic kidney disease.
