"Vandals" by Isobel Kingswell

The artwork ‘Vandals’ celebrates nature’s insistence on reclaiming space, continually asserting its agency and resilience. Her work encourages viewers to think about how human trespasses often fail to recognise the interdependence of systems within the natural world. Her paintings serve as a form of repair, visually reconnecting the vital lines of interdependence between all living things.
