Camilla Brueton is an artist who is curious about place. She is interested in the aspirations and emotions embodied by landscape, architecture and infrastructure and the everyday life that unfolds around. These actions are generative and contribute to the ever-changing nature of place.<\/p>\n
Brueton makes small, considered works on paper, publications and large, multi-layered constructions and installations that bring together disparate places and viewpoints. Conversations begin; architectural forms collide; skylines overlap; a pile of rubble becomes a mountain viewed through a train window. New forms are created and the fabric of place is spun through her mark making. Composition and the construction of images is also a formal concern within her work; how we frame and are framed by the world around us.<\/p>\n
Brueton also writes and is interested in bringing words and images together through publication and performance.<\/p>\n
