Pia Camil turns old T-shirts into art:
Artist Pia Camil makes work in a way that’s layered and interwoven, using fabric and clothing, sculpture, and performance as a means to reference the body and our collective humanity. For example, for her current exhibit,"" at the Queens Museum in New York, recycled t-shirts and jeans, which have been collected from international markets, have been sewn together as curtains and soft sculptures visitors can use for lounging.
In honor of her current exhibit and recent installation, i-D spoke with Camil about her art practice and what motivates her work.I did art classes after school since I was 16, making paintings and drawings. Then I trained as a painter at the Rhode Island School of Design. At that time I just wanted to become a painter and it wasn’t until I studied abroad in Rome, Italy that I ended up mixing photography with my studio practice.
Later, I went to London to do my MBA for three years, where I became more interested in focusing on the archives of different things. But I think my interest in this kind of work came from living in a place like Mexico City where the history has been subject to many different cultures and architecture. I think it gave me a sense of trying to understand my own making in a layered way. So it's not usually one thing that motivates the work, but it's a ton of different interests.
