Isabel Fernández Echavarría

Designer with a degree in typography from the P. Universidad Católica de Chile. My work crosses different mediums that involve paper and matrix such as photography, engraving, and books, especially small, handmade editions. Since 2012 I have traveled the Pacific Ocean coast on a long-term journey, with a large format pinhole camera and black & white film.

I approach my work from the idea that everything arises from a single source of light, which expresses itself as idividuals with their own vibration and on different planes that coexist with us, even though we cannot see them.

The sea and chemistry, metaphors for unity, pulse and matter transmutation, are the stages for my work. The vestiges and remains, as traces of what once was, are the way to question and testify mystery and impermanence. The pinhole camera and its long exposure times are the ritual from which I conjure the soul of beings and places, as well as my own.
