ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Carla Towill’s practice began in the darkroom, where she learned to work with restraint, precision, and patience. Film taught her to consider every frame; the darkroom taught her to stay with an image until it revealed itself. That foundation still anchors her work today: a commitment to what is real, elemental, and built to endure.

INFLUENCES
There’s a quiet 90s grit to her worldview, shaped by analogue instincts, lived texture. Her perspective is informed by space, texture, light, and the understated edge of the era that raised her. Living close to the natural world taught her how atmosphere moves, how light behaves. These influences form the internal rhythm of her practice, working on instinct, not spectacle.
Her life is rooted in landscape and noise in equal measure, the open air of the moors and the quiet discipline of her craft. These influences form her internal language. She watches how people move, how light shifts, how emotion gathers and dissolves. She documents from within, directing with restraint to strip back the surface and reveal the unguarded beneath.
