ARTIST BIO

Camilla Howalt (b. 1968) creates layered, constructed surfaces that explore the intersections of time, material, and perception. Working across media, she examines how surfaces hold traces of experience, using mark making, visual studies of front/back/in-between, and experimental processes such as pyrography, embroidery, knotting, and digital or photographic interventions. Her work treats each piece as a depth field, a site where different temporal moments coexist and materials store tension, memory, and duration.

A First-Class Honours graduate from Wimbledon School of Art with an MA in Modern European Philosophy, Camilla’s practice is informed by construction - artistically, aesthetically, linguistically, and craft-wise - as well as by archaeological, philosophical, and psychoanalytical experience, enriched by extensive travel across Europe, America, and Africa.

Originals, prints, and books are held in public and private collections across Europe, offering viewers and collectors an intimate engagement with structurally complex, materially attentive work.
