- About
Isabel celebrates the in-extraordinary by creating objects for everyday life that emphasize the beauty of routine. She centers her work around the mundane– undressing, dressing, and readying the self– in order to restore dignity to these overlooked tasks. Grounding her practice in the natural and domestic worlds, Isabel works primarily with elemental materials such as wood, metal, and clay. She works continually to blur the lines between fiction and function.
