Isabella Martin is a visual artist who explores how we fit in the world, how we shape and are shaped by our surroundings.

Her practice utilises embodied and scientific knowledge to challenge normative perceptions of time and space and offer new perspectives on biology, environment and climate

Recent and current projects focus on the body's internal clock and urban and oceanic time.

Her work is context specific; driven by interdisciplinary collaboration, experimental play and in-depth research. She works with expanding group of collaborators including geologists, physicists, biologists, sailors and schoolchildren.

Works move across mediums: using sculpture, drawing, performance, participation, film and sound to challenge and play with the systems informing our understanding of the world.

Isabella is a co-founder of research and curatorial collective Camp Little Hope and a member of art and game design collective Kosmologym.

Isabella holds a BA(hons) in Fine Art Sculpture from Brighton University and an MFA from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts with a Minor in Art, Writing and Research.
