Charleston artist, designer and sewist Camela Guavara creates fiber art, paintings, sculpture, clothing and more. The multidisciplinary visual artist combines her love for handmade monuments and reverence for the labor of sewing to bring together diverse pieces, including quilts and embroidered pieces. She also dives into abstract gouache paintings with an eye for subtlety. You can find her work at camelaguevara.com. She told the City Paper it was too difficult to pick out just five of her favorite albums, so she put together a list of songs she’s been listening to lately as she makes works of art. She calls the playlist “Studio Vibe:”

“Me Porto Bonito” – Bad Bunny 
“Ceci n’est pas un cliché” by Bolis Pupul and Charlotte Adigéry
“Sensitive Child (Soulwax Remix)” – Oliver Sim 
“Everybody Dance” – Yerning Whir 
“Harbour” – Cate Le Bon
