Izzie Jobbins’ work explores humour, archiving, and facilitating connections within communities. She often uses papier-mache and model-making techniques to create sculptures. These objects are irrational and ridiculous in their forms especially in their huge size, becoming caricatures of each other. Taking inspiration from family anecdotes her work becomes remnants of these stories. She uses her sculptures and audio pieces in installations reflecting the stories and memories they are based on.

Rituals and repetitions underpin her work creating a specific narrative. She creates her own archive through her practice recollecting memories and anecdotes that she can share with the audience.

Izzie Jobbins was born in London and lives and works in Dorset.
