Brief info

f. 1988

Visual artist Isabella Martin’s practice explores the conversation between body and world, utilising embodied
experience and scientific knowledge to challenge established perceptions of time and scale.

Through interdisciplinary processes Isabella draws from different knowledge systems to explore the temporalities
and rhythms of our bodies and our surroundings. Her practice is context-specific; utilising drawing, film, and public art, research and material play. Projects are driven by collaboration with the sciences and shaped by a collision between the inquiry-driven logic of the laboratory and the imaginaries of the playground.

Isabella has shown her work internationally, with recent collaborative projects focusing on forest time schoolchildren, circadian rhythms with biologists and ocean waves with physicists.

She holds a BA(hons) Art Sculpture from Brighton University (2010) and an MFA from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.

Isabella Martin’s project, Baltic Code of Signals, reimagines maritime signal flags to create a new visual language for the Baltic Sea. The project celebrates the sea and its species while communicating its critical condition.

The project ‘Body Clocks’ continues a collaboration with Curator Kristin Hussey and researchers at the Novo Nordisk Foundation – Centre for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR) into the study of circadian rhythms.
