Whether working with paint or clay, surface and line are fundamental to Camilla's work. The most important consideration is the effect of colour on space, light and mood within a piece.

As with many artists Camilla's spur is the world around her, whether at home or through travels further afield. Real or imagined experiences of the past and present influence the development of each artwork.

Drawings, notes and photos evolve in the studio into mainly abstract compositions that occasionally border on landscapes. Camilla builds up the surface, laying down colour and texture, sometimes applying clay, editing back, maybe simply wiping marks away, then overpainting, reworking, scratching and scoring. It can appear to be - and often is - intuitive and spontaneous, but there is always a counterpoint of order.

She aims for the pieces to speak for themselves and to intrigue the viewer through a language beyond words.
