ISA lives and works in London,Vienna  

I create bright, shiny sculptural forms from weaving together

strips of metal, sourced from drink cans.

Many of the most well known LABELS are in my work portfolio.

In the process I humanise the harsh, unmalleable aluminium

into something more tactile.

A sort of advertising through my Art famous BRANDS:

Red Bull, Budwiser, Ottakringer, Coca Cola, etc.

are under my sponsor´s and collector´s.
