Loren Camberato’s work is diverse in medium with past works in Devised Theater, Costume Production, various Sculpture and Painting. Her current work focuses mainly on Digital Art. At Stony Brook she discovered an affinity for Electronic Media and Photography which is the specialization of her Undergraduate degree with both a minor in Digital Art and Art History which she graduated Cum Laude in December 2020. She received an Associates Degree in Theatre from Suffolk County Community College (S.C.C.C.), studied T.V. Productions at B.O.C.E.S..
Loren previously worked assisting a Professor of Costume Design at S.C.C.C. The Professor took note of her tendency to work with her hands for Costume Crafts and suggested she take a sculpting class. From there she studied briefly at the Art Students League in NYC which ultimately led her to Stony Brook University to pursue a career in art.
Loren looks forward to participating in the innovative art of today. However, she values the notion of reflecting on the past. Loren feels it is imperative to understand social and art movements, and artist’s motivations. Art History research and conceptual development have become a vital part of her process. For example, her experimental video, Ouroboros 2019, looks to adapt assemblage and appropriation techniques from the 1950s and merge them with contemporary technological capabilities. Other works look to examine identity and aesthetics, and how they relate to a broader social and political landscape. Conversely, she has experimented with microscopic and telescopic photography, even how one views the world with Stereo Blindness. Loren thrives on exploring the world through different lenses both figuratively and literally. You can see more of her work at lorencamberato.com.
