Isabelle.D’s work can be interpreted as a new form of feminist practice, linking traditional means of production with timeless and autobiographical subject matters exploring contemporary feminism and the translation of trauma.

Her body of work can be described as sculptural paintings through which the artist unconsciously draws the viewer’s attention towards the actual creation process rather than solely on the resultant art object.

Crocheting, embroidering, weaving, knitting, and dismantling previously existing objects to create new individual strings to be reused in constantly changing contexts – represent the backbone of her body of work.

Isabelle was born in 1966 in France. Growing up in Algeria, her upbringing was constellated by strong female figures that inspired her childhood and her current art practice.
