Isabel Ferrand finds inspiration in local, personal stories that she explores and relates to a larger world. Highly sensitive to the devotion it takes to create and preserve something precious, she researches how people pass on traditions, memories or the knowledge stored in the body. Her art mediates between meaningful details of everyday life and a more abstract sense of heritage and history. Tracing intricate cultural, economic and political links, she maps the many ways all our lives are interlaced.
