As a recent graduate of Cardiff Metropolitan School of Art and Design, Isobel's work is experimental and interdisciplinary, rooted in relief processes but spanning handmade artist books to large-scale installations. At the work's core is play. Isobel loves pushing boundaries of traditional printmaking and experimenting by combining techniques. Inspired by their surroundings, Isobel's work explores familiarity, home, fragmentation, and the layered nature of spaces.
