About
Cam Williamson (She/Her) is an artist and researcher based in Plymouth, UK. Initially specialising in uncovering an intersectional 21st century social realism, her research into social relationships with community spaces has lead her to include magic within her creative and research practices. She is currently researching how practice as research and figurative art can represent queer human/other-than-human relationships as a part of her current Ph.D. at the University of Plymouth. Her practice is rooted in her experiences of being queer and working class, while bringing in feminist, anti-colonial, and postmodernist ideologies to further interrogate socio-spatial hierarchies.
While drawing and painting as an animist method of communication with other-than-human persons, Cam blends art and magic to consider and explore human relationships with space and place. Alongside painting and sigilry, Cam walks and writes psychogeographically about the places she meets and co-exists with.
Born and based in Plymouth, UK, Cam draws on her experiences as both working-class and transgender, as well as her lifelong relationship with the sea.
