Isabelle.D grew up in Algeria and her work can be interpreted as a new form of feminist practice, linking together traditional means of production with timeless as well as autobiographical subject matters exploring contemporary feminism and the translation of ‘Trauma into Beauty’. Born in France in 1966 and grown up in Algeria, child of black feet, Isabelle.D’s upbringing was constellated by strong female figures that have inspired her childhood and her present art practice. Memories play a crucial role in Isabelle.D’s oeuvre, in her autobiographical quest to relive moments of the past permeated by manual processes, historically associated with female work, like sewing, knitting and crocheting.
