  • 57 Vulva’s and counting!

    57 Vulva’s and counting!

    All of my art work is a way for me to find my own personal power. I look at the natural world and am struck by the beauty and the innate sense of strength and connection in everything around me. With every piece I make I strive to inspire that feeling in myself again and to encourage it in others.

    The Bloom project started as a way to use up scraps and for me to feel more comfortable with the natural size and shape of my vulva. No two are alike and I found that I got really excited about combing different colours and patterns and seeing how the fabric would fold. At the moment I am up to 57 individual vulva’s and I finding I’m not as motivated to continue.

    I had a particular exhibition space in mind for these pieces and unfortunately they weren’t selected, and honestly it’s got me a little bit bummed. Sometimes with art it feels like you have to be constantly hustling to get your work “out there” and all that effort can be draining. So I don’t know where this project is going to go. I know I will continue to make my little fabric vulva’s because I love how they turn out but I don’t know where in the world they will find a home. But I guess sometimes I just have to trust the urge to make and believe that everything else will take care of it’s self. Even if I throw myself a little pity party or two along the way.

  • Making of Seagull

This piece is called Seagull (very insightful I know) and was inspired by a night a few weeks ago on my back deck. I was lounging enjoying the lingering evening heat and this flock of seagulls spent an hour or more circling, flying and playing overhead. It was beautiful to watch them catch the evening sun on their wings and bodies drifting in and out of sun & shadow.[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]

  • Ostrich Flock Wall Hanging

     

    Flock of Ostriches | Fabric Wall Hanging | Tracey Cameron Creative

    I’m starting to run out of space in my studio to create new sculptures, so I decided it was time to work flat! Although I went flat, I didn’t go small. This mammoth 60″ x 30″ wall hanging put my sewing machine and my patience through it’s paces. But I’m very pleased with the results. I had a lot of fun working flat. Got to be a little more graphic and abstract with the shapes. Next piece I will try to mix in a little paint with the fabric and have the shapes dissolve and become a little more raw.

    Ostriches have such personality and individuality I wanted to create an ostriches flock but allow each bird to stand on it’s own as well. I layered cream, white and yellow laces and sheer fabrics over black shapes to create their form. And kept adding layers towards the head to create dimension and texture. Their eyes and long lashes are such a dominate feature I wanted to put the focal point there. If you look closely you can see I also added some lines of stitching in yellow, grey and white to give more depth and interest and line quality.

  • Goldfish

    A new sculpture I just finished. I was originally thinking a mobile, but i like the plinth, it feels more solid but still has some nice movement. Click here to see the full sculpture or click on the article to see close ups of the other two fish.

  • Peahen Fabric Sculpture

    Some details of a new fabric sculpture I just finished. I’ve been really inspired by the peahen (the female peacock) lately. I really love how they only have a patch of teal on their necks that blends into the browns and greys of the rest of their bodies. Click here to see the full sculpture.
