Camilla Sturm is a New York City–based ceramic artist and archaeologist working in both wheel-thrown and hand-built forms. Her practice is grounded in rhythm, repetition, and the physical logic of making: forms shaped through accumulated gestures that retain the trace of the hand. She is interested in how simple, repeated actions build structure over time, and how those structures hold both intention and variation.

Drawing from New York’s urban landscape, she references industrial materials, mechanical infrastructure, and the visual language of functional objects, including those that have fallen out of use. Her work attends to utility, erosion, and residue, often looking at what remains when objects are removed from their original systems.
