Isis Bird

PV: Thursday, 9 October 2025
Open: 10 October – 15 November 2025

Isis Powers-Bird (b. 2001) is an artist whose practice spans sculpture, performance, and installation. With an interest in neglected things, Bird’s work navigates dreams, bodies, and nature understood through a well of personal diaries and symbols.
 

Within her sculptural practice she specialise in repurposing neglected, discarded materials and objects – reimagining their initial purpose by deconstructing and assembling new forms inspired by the object’s previous lives. Bird collects various ephemera from the street such as paper, furniture, glass, etc. which become blueprints for new sculptures. With a focus on the environment and sustainability she highlights structures and patterns in nature, meaning her sculptures often nod towards the geo-social frameworks we live in. As a curator, she wants to challenge our understanding of consumerism through exhibiting unconventionally made artworks.

Public Programming

Bird will will also host a kite making workshop to expand the themes of the show. The workshop would aim at local children and young adults, and would entail one artist teaching paper techniques which can be applied to making kites. She would also invite the public to attend selected artists talks from the exhibition, learning more about their practice and wider influences while getting a closer examination of the work on show.
