STATEMENT

Cameron’s work is a personal reflection on transformation. He is drawn to the subtle and unexpected ways that we can adjust our perspective.  This is an area of great interest and is reflected in the layers of change in each piece.  It may be the most ordinary of things that catch his attention.  A line can change direction, run parallel, or intersect other lines.  It can repeat to form a pattern or exhibit distinct qualities from other lines.  In a similar manner, shapes and colors can be used to alter a space.  They are able to interact through a variety of means and produce a transformative effect.  Even at the minimal level, there is a visual shift.  And by capturing the simple steps, he is presenting a means to celebrate possibility.   

Cameron is considering how to translate this idea through a balance of planned and reactionary application.  His practice includes literal modifications, as well as symbolic representation.  As he builds upon a framework, Cameron will allow each piece to evolve and then adjust to bring it together.  There is an organic approach that plays with a structure of purposeful choices.  He then gravitates towards the imperfections and contradictions, as they enable him to free up and move forward. 

Visual instruments join one another to hopefully produce a heightened experience.  Much of the time, it can be a glance, sound, or other sensory moment in time that provides the catalyst.  Through his work, he is seeking to find progressions, rotations, and signs of change.  In everything, there is line, shape and varying degrees of color.  Patterns and cycles are in and around us.  With the theme of transformation in mind, Cameron is seeing how these principles and elements can create sources of inspiration.  They are like doors opening up to new discoveries.  He has found a language within his process.  Cameron hopes to understand it more and share a message along the way.


Cameron Frederick Sands is a visual artist based in Texas. His work includes painting, drawing, and other forms of mixed media. Cameron’s influences range from performing arts to architecture, nature, and psychology. He credits an image of artist Eva Hesse’s Addendum (1967) as a tangible memory that began his path to discover art. A Summer job in 1997 at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston then sparked a curiosity that led him to experiment in painting.
