Vancouver artist Isabelle Pauwels was born 1975 in Kortrijk, Belgium. She graduated from Emily Carr Institute in 2001 with her BFA and has an MFA from the Art Institute of Chicago. She has had numerous solo exhibitions including “B & E” at Presentation House Gallery (2009); Mercer Union, Toronto; the Contemporary Art Gallery, Or Gallery, Catriona Jeffries Gallery, and CSA Space in Vancouver. In 2010 she will mount a solo exhibition at the Henry Art Gallery, Seattle, Washington. Her work has been in group exhibitions at Signal, Malmo; Alberta Art Gallery, Edmonton; the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, Vancouver and she is currently part of a major international group exhibition at the Witte de With in Rotterdam. In 2009, she won the inaugural Brink Award for emerging Pacific Northwest Visual artists, and in 2007 was awarded the VIVA award.

This photo-collage marks the beginnings of a photographic series that will be featured in her solo exhibition at the Henry Art Gallery. This photo collage derived from family archives extends Pauwels’ concern with disjointed spaces and the edgy disjunctive narrativesthat she creates in her video pieces. Culled from her grandfather's photo album, her she considers the invisibility of black women in the Belgian Congo during colonialism.
