Gladys Camilo (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice centres on sustainability and the natural world. Camilo’s work investigates how care—both as a labour and a material—shapes personal and collective identities. Her recent textile sculptures examine the concept of mothering as an epicentre of creativity, trauma, and healing.

The wall is a pale green with a dusty pink border running across it. The quilt has a light pink border with an emerald green background. The shapes within the background are dark purple and a mossy green. The hand-tied knots on the quilt are light pink. The artist stands behind the quilt, holding it up from its corners and peeking out from the left corner. Only her eyes are visible; she wears a black hoodie and long black hair.]](/sites/default/files/inline-images/001607160004-4.jpg)
