Isles is a self-taught visual artist working primarily with abstract photography, mark-making and movement. Drawing on their relationship with nature and elemental beings, Isles often revisits key motifs and themes within their work including light, shadow, fluidity and reflection. Over the last decade, their practice has been influenced by animism and the mystical nature of the everyday - revealing what is alive and in motion beneath the concrete of the city and how nature is murmuring in the background of the everyday. 

London-born and raised, their work explores the important searching for peace within urban environments and the uncertain nature of these times. Living with chronic mental health conditions, Isles is most interested in how to go beyond the chaos of the mind by using presence and abstraction to access new realities and alter the perception of time. Through the act of making art, Isles seeks to remind both themselves and others that personal and collective liberation still remains possible, despite the darkness of these times.
