Pascal Miehe is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice spans drawing, printmaking, and performance, often using the body as a central motif. His work grapples with cycles of human behaviour—both historical and contemporary—questioning what is inevitable and what might be disrupted. Through repetition and layered processes, he considers tensions between individuality and collectivity, stability and rupture. His perspective is shaped by lived experience of inhabiting in-between spaces—neither wholly within nor outside of particular social groups—navigating shifting intersections of queerness, migration, and identity.
In 2023, he was awarded one of Printmaking Today's State of the Art awards and shortlisted for the John Ruskin Prize.
Hand-sewn from over 19 woodcut prints, Directional Line explores the body’s relationship to line, movement, and intent. It reflects on how bodily gestures trace direction, yet often contain contradiction— fingers pointing forward while heads turn back, action and intent diverging. In foregrounding these tensions, this work gestures toward complexities of choice, doubt, and complicity.
