Traditionally, these fantastical characters were a product of the effects of \u2018magic mushrooms\u2019. So alongside depicting these mystical spaces, my practice aims to visualize the connection between the biological profiles and magical connotations of fungi.<\/p>\n<div class=\"socialstack\"><span class=\"material-symbols-outlined\">handshake<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/Izzybarber.art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with <span id=\"withme\"><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><!--FILE01--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mediafileviewer mfvimages\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading =\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofdesignleeds.com\/degreeshow-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/isabelle-barber-01_Isabelle-Barber.png\" width=\"100%\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1922px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1922\/1355;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mfv-caption\">Influenced both by traditional neo-romantic art and modern illustration, a hybrid of these styles is produced. The dreamlike colour palette nods to nature whilst sustaining a stylized and whimsical aura, inspired by Harald Sohlberg\u2019s technique of employing a limited colour palette to evoke this mood. Viewers are invited to immerse themselves in this little world as they travel through each scene. More details of the paintings are noticed as one looks for longer, stimulating a sense of nostalgia individual to each person.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mfv-caption\">Surrealism is prevalent within this series, yet the paintings retain some familiarity. This is a response to the fantastical details of our own world that are often forgotten with the resistance accompanying adulthood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--FILE02--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mediafileviewer mfvimages\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading =\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofdesignleeds.com\/degreeshow-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/isabelle-barber-02_Isabelle-Barber-1.png\" width=\"100%\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1500\/1058;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mfv-caption\">\n<\/div>\n<p><!--FILE03--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mediafileviewer mfvimages\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading =\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofdesignleeds.com\/degreeshow-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/isabelle-barber-03_Isabelle-Barber.png\" width=\"100%\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2035px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2035\/1416;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mfv-caption\">\n<\/div>\n<p><!--FILE04--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mediafileviewer mfvimages\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading =\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofdesignleeds.com\/degreeshow-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/isabelle-barber-04_Isabelle-Barber-scaled.jpg\" width=\"100%\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2560\/1797;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mfv-caption\">\n<\/div>\n<p><!--FILE05--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mediafileviewer mfvimages\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading =\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofdesignleeds.com\/degreeshow-2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/isabelle-barber-05_Isabelle-Barber.png\" width=\"100%\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1346px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1346\/1795;\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mfv-caption\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\ndocument.getElementById(\"withme\").innerHTML = document.getElementById(\"studentpostname\").innerHTML;\ndocument.addEventListener(\"scroll\", function(){\nvar sitedescription = document.querySelector(\".site-description\");\nvar studenttitle = document.getElementById(\"studentpostname\");\nif(window.pageYOffset > 100){\nsitedescription.classList.add(\"highlightstudentname\");\nsitedescription.innerHTML = studenttitle.innerHTML;\n}\nif(window.pageYOffset < 100){\nsitedescription.classList.remove(\"highlightstudentname\");\nsitedescription.innerHTML = \"School of Design, University of Leeds\";\n}\n});\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Degree Show 2023 Isabelle Barber BA Art and Design This body of work takes inspiration from the whimsical worlds depicted within folklore and fairy tale, creating a nostalgic space for the imagination to navigate through.
