Exhibition Opening
Her work is featured in the following collections: Museu do Chiado, Serralves Foundation, Museu de Arte Contemporânea do Funchal, EDP Foundation, Coleção António Cachola and also the Coleção Banco Privado. She received the Prémio União Latina prize in 2001.From the principles of assemblage, intervened appropriation and abstract construction, the artist creates objects that appeal to the careful reading of their own processes, surprise and intrinsic nature. Isolated or conceived for dialogues in the space, they have the presence and the tactile appeal of sculpture, but also the resourcefulness of drawing and the intriguing challenge of their latent symbolic reference.
Isa’s video work has been shown at the Photopub festival in Slovenia, HVW8 Gallery in Berlin and in online exhibitions for Pousio - Arte e Cultura, for Transmissions TV as well as a solo digital video series for Smuggler. In 2015 she co-founded ButchCamp with graphic designer Rosen Eveleigh, a research project centred on contemporary camp aesthetics. Butchcamp interviews and articles have been published by Teen Vogue, Another Magazine, Dazed and Girls Like Us. In Portugal, her illustrations have been published by Electra Magazine and Sr. Teste.

Artist Bio
"My life sometimes feels like one long relay race between obsessive hobbies and so-called ambition. When at first I decided “I’m going to write”, I ended up spending all my time painting, so when I thought “right, I’m going to paint”, I spent all my time making little dub videos, then I thought “ok then, I’ll focus videos”, so naturally I started drawing again…"
