Isabelle Carr (b.1997, Dorset, England) is an artist based in Japan, working across drawing, painting and sculpture. Her practice begins with close observation of transitional environments - including farmland, industrial sites and roadsides - where she documents and collects materials.

The spatial relationships and contrasts that emerge become structural starting points.
This body of work explores the structure of flint stones collected from Dorset and Wiltshire farmland, tracing its formation from the fossilised remains of Cretaceous sponges. Through long processes of decay, seepage and replacement, the stone’s cellular formations parallel contemporary systems of circulation - conduits, pathways and channels - that similarly guide movement.

In Isabelle’s paintings, marks accumulate through layering, erasing and reworking, forming structures that shift between growth and collapse, surface and depth. Obscured and clustered forms reflect how the flint records accumulation, pressure and transformation within the landscape.
