Ila Ceramica emerged from a process of inner inquiry where ceramics became a space for presence, silence, touch and patience for Camila Apaez. Voids and Delays, the first manual collection, was born in 2019, wich soon gave rise to the current Permanent Collection, a series of fourteen silhouettes inspired by movement, bodily landscapes and lost time. For these series, we created casts from the original pieces of Voids and Delays, which are available in four signature hues as well as seasonal colors that are the result of through research and glaze testing. Each piece is the result of a shared craft amongst Ila Ceramica´s team, a team of three young women from different backgrounds. These series also coexist with the One of a Kind Collection, which explore the tension between sculptural and functional concerns and are made through the traditional technique of coil building. These pieces respond to a deeper inquiry of material, place, volume and balance, and are influenced by nature, corporeal silhouettes and archaic symbols of the femenine. Camila also participates and collaborates in experimental and artistic projects, that, through separate from these two main lines are also embraced by Ila.
