FROM CURVE TO ANGLE: The Apple Peel and the Unraveling of Time

ArtBlog

Mar 1

A daily task could be that of peeling an apple in one long piece, round and round, from top to bottom. As the days passed, the peel slowly transformed - its soft curves hardening into sharp angles, spiraling inward like an architectural structure collapsing into itself. What begins as a simple act of peeling becomes a meditation on time, decay, and the unseen forces that shape matter.

Camilla Howalt

Visual Artist

After graduating with First-Class Honours from Wimbledon School of Art and completing an MA at Kingston University’s Center for Research in Modern European Philosophy, Camilla Howalt (b.1968) established her Malmö-based studio in 2021. Her practice focuses on creating prints and original artworks that blend photography, painting, and digital techniques.

Working across painting, textile-based media, and photography to explore perception, materiality, and fragmentation, her work traces the ways pain - physical, emotional, existential - inscribes itself onto surfaces, bodies, and spaces. Through mapped and layered textures, she investigates how presence unfolds in the tension between sensuality, introspection, and abstraction.

Camilla’s work is part of private collections across Europe, and her prints are available for purchase, bringing her distinct, contemplative style into homes and spaces looking for both aesthetic and thoughtful engagement.
