About

Cas Campbell's works explore the places where nature, ancient history, mythology and queer culture meet. Using intricate, transformative material processes, she creates paintings and wall hangings from paper pulp, alongside installations and ceramic pieces. Works are formed through cyclical, ritualistic techniques: colour is applied from mineral pigments, oak gall ink, and gathered material, and old pieces are reworked and recycled into new ones.

Campbell (b. 1995) grew up in New Zealand and works between London and Brighton, UK. She holds an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art (2022), and a BA from the University of Brighton (2018). Campbell is a recipient of an Arts Council England Developing Your Creative Practice grant and an A-N Artist Bursary, and has been shortlisted for the Chaiya Art Awards and the Visual Open Art Awards. Recent residencies include Studio Verde’s ‘Art and Ecology’ in Italy and Sachaqa Centro de Arte in the Peruvian Amazon. Campbell’s work is included in several public and private collections, including the Soho House Brighton collection of queer art. She has exhibited in the UK and internationally.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork

‘Panthalassa’ and 'Hidden Rivers' were both large-scale installations exhibited in 2024: A five-metre wall hanging created from recycled paper pulp, seaweed and mineral pigments and a twenty-metre installation using the same. The installations reflected a life’s journey mostly taken on the ocean and the detritus and ephemera of the everyday.
