Artist Bio
S. Camille Comer is a mixed media sculptor who was born and raised in Murfreesboro,
Tennessee. Camille makes Fluxus style works about the relationships people share based on the artifacts left in the wake of these connections. She utilizes ubiquitous tools, familial artifacts, found objects, and fabrication to create scenes depicting her feelings towards the person the objects were either purchased, fabricated or worn by.
Camille received her BFA from Middle Tennessee State University in 2022 and is an MFA candidate and 3D/103 instructor at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. She is expected to graduate in 2026. Camille has shown work at both universities, online at the Las Laguna Art Gallery in Laguna Beach, California, at The Walk in Closet in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and in the Rotunda of Murfreesboro, Tennessee’s City Hall.
She worked as a Metal Shop technician from 2021 through 2023 for Middle Tennessee State University and is currently the Visual Arts Production Coordinator for Tennessee’s Governor’s School for the Arts and has been since 2023. Camille has a public works sculpture that was commissioned by the Cannon County Art’s Center in Woodbury, Tennessee and has had multiple sculptures published in Collage: A Journal of Creative Expression and Blood Orange Review: Literature and Art Magazine. She currently lives and works in Pullman, Washington as an Instructor within the Foundations Area, under the Woodshop/Botcave Technician JJ Harty, and the Ceramics Technician Kassie Smith.
