Camden's previous works featured tipping viaducts, gatehouses and towers and explore a 'sense of place', family ties and genealogy. Recent large life leaps -motherhood, loss of a parent and a new sense of place have pushed Camden into new territory. Rather than architectural motifs being points of reference to another place Camden has utilized the pyramid form to engage in a poignant conversation with grief and the memory of her mother. Claustrophobic and open at the same time, these weighty pieces are fractured by shafts of light, access to the outer is through a very small passage in a very heavy dense structure. Camden is exploring the in-between places, the access points to the past, present and future and the unknown.
