About the Artist

Cameron Anne Mason

Cameron Anne Mason combines her love of working with fabric with her aptitude for creating in three-dimensions and her early work in performance. This has led her to create fine art for the gallery, celebration art for performance, and interactive installations. Cameron, who teaches regularly at Pratt Fine Arts Center, works toward creating a sense of place and time with site-specific installations.

In her MadArt piece, the figure is used to explore that which is seen and that which is kept close to the skin. The Waitress, the Mother, the Lover, all of these roles play a part in a woman’s life, fragmentary and coexisting.  The intentional siting of this work in Ann Marie Lingerie places the installation in context, and displays what is often hidden, the dreams and inner support that are only hinted at on the surface.

Cameron’s artwork explores surface design on fabric.  She is largely self-taught, experimenting in her studio to find successful methods.  The fabric for this installation was created through breakdown printing, a silk-screen process that changes with each print.  Patterning, forming, and stitching complete the pieces that form the installation.
