Career

Cameron was educated at the University of Durham, and the Courtauld Institute. His earlier works include the Process Paintings produced with masking tape grids and often brightly coloured, mostly from the 1960s.[1] His videotapes date mainly from 1973 to 1976. In 1979, Eric Cameron began applying coats of gesso to some objects that just happened to be lying around his Halifax apartment.
