co-founder Austen Camille
Austen Camille is a Canadian-American artist, writer, builder and gardener; always moving between projects and locations, she currently lives in rural Connecticut and has roots in Alvin, TX. Camille primarily makes site-responsive, community-engaged public work that aims to both build relationships with the local environment, as well as call attention to the relationships that already exist within that environment. Alongside and integrated with her studio practice, Camille works to forge connections between the arts and other disciplines, amplify rural stories, and facilitate opportunities wherever possible to get folks' hands into the soil. She has spent the last ten years focusing on the intersection of agriculture and culture, and on cultivating close relationships between land and people through art.
