Cam Moore is an artist who creates from instinct and presence, exploring the balance between control and surrender. Their process invites space to be still, disconnect, and let discovery guide the process.
Artist Statement
Don’t look away.
What you are seeing has already survived more than it should have. Salvaged cardboard and packing tape arrive worn, stretched thin, and scarred by use. Nothing is cleaned up or concealed. The damage remains because the damage tells the truth.
What appears reinforced is only patched. Harm is managed rather than healed, covered just enough to keep moving forward. Blood and violence are not hidden, only contained, pressing through seams and tears as reminders that what is covered still exists beneath the surface.
The Heavy label reflects how weight is assigned, inherited, and unevenly distributed. Some bodies are expected to carry more, endure longer, and absorb harm in silence.
She stands firm and upright, her back turned to promises that were never meant to be kept. Strength here is not decorative, symbolic, or performative. It is a side effect of perseverance, pressure, and time.
The violence was always present; the difference is who is being forced to receive it. Standing is not the conclusion. It is the beginning of resistance that does not ask permission and does not wait to be invited.
