Porous is a body of work made by pouring bleach and ink onto linen. The absorbed liquids dry leaving an imprint of a colourful chemical reaction. A push needle is then used to pierce and thread loops, like scar tissue in response to the biomorphic forms. Camilla then draws around her body, tracing her form and movement, which is then cut, torn and reassembled it make a stencil that is laid on top of the linen. A thick layer of oil paint, exuberant colour is then brushed or spread over the surface using a palette knife, like a casting agent as a final detail. The paint brushes over any exposed threads, often leaving a glimpse of colour beneath.

The work was inspired by her recent discovery of ASMR and a desire to introduce pleasure and ritual into her art making processes.
