Camilla Thorup’s artistic practice is driven by an interest in human beings and the human psyche, and in the timeless stories and experiences we share. For many years, her work has centred on drawings and sculptures of people and animals. Working intuitively, Thorup allows the subconscious to shape her process, creating a world where logic, gravity and rationality are no longer in power. Her figures often exist in unexpected positions and relationships, exploring states of being and the complex connections between people.

Nature has always been an important element in Thorup’s work, and in recent years, her focus has increasingly turned towards the relationship between humans and the natural world. Her ceramic works explore the tension between coexistence and dominance, and the ways in which human presence is inseparable from nature.

Thorup’s work reflects on this increasingly intertwined relationship between the natural and the human-made. With both humour and a sense of unease, she considers how nature adapts to what humans leave behind, while inviting us to become more attentive to the natural world around us. Her work ultimately asks us to reflect on our place within nature, and on our responsibility to preserve the world we share with it.
