Cam Fox is a multimedia sculptor from Acton, Massachusetts. Growing up with an extensive stuffed animal collection, Cam’s accumulative tendencies now inform the three-dimensional objects he creates. He embraces a deep connection to material and approaches the making process playfully. Fox is currently attending the Maine College of Art & Design where he will earn his BFA in Sculpture in the spring of 2026. His work has been shown in Maine and internationally; his video Camgirl was featured in VII International Bad Video Art Festival in Cosenza, Italy. Fox is currently assisting artist Benjamin Spalding with fabrication for his upcoming exhibition. Cam’s ideal day consists of wearing wrinkly pants and searching for trinkets in thrift stores that fit in the palm of his hand and close to his heart. He daydreams about playing a sport again.
Artist Statement
I am deeply attached to objects; I am a trinket collector. Through material inquiry, I grasp for ways to understand what draws me to their form. By using themes of play and humor, my work honors memories contained within objects or myself. I view humor as a tool to dismantle and reconstruct my queer identity; I consider the ways queerness can be expressed through material and form while embracing the disorientation that is innate when recalling experiences. At the forefront of my artistic inquiry is how our bodies interact with objects.
Through the act of creating, I am investigating rigid material and the handmade. I engage with the distortion that arises from their intersection. Haphazard material applications allow for objects to exist honestly, secure in their objecthood. I distill subjects to find their material essence, which creates a focused environment that anchors them in reality. What makes one want to approach, shy away from, or gawk at something? I explore these questions by engaging with the way sculptures have the ability to evoke curiosity and laughter.
