From sketches in the margins of texts, whether poetry, drama, song lyrics, opera libretti, climate reports, or endangered species lists, emerge the technically advanced, collectively imagined universes for which she is globally renowned. Fragile miniature paintings, paper cuts, and small mechanical cardboard models form the seeds of some of the most iconic, large-scale, multi-disciplinary cultural manifestations in recent times. These range from public sculptures and installations at Tate Modern, Serpentine, V\u0026amp;A, Barbican, Imperial War Museum, and the Lincoln Center, to kinetic stage designs at the Royal Opera House, the Royal Ballet, the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, and the National Theatre, as well as Olympic Ceremonies, Super Bowl half-time shows, and monumental illuminated stage sculptures for Beyoncé, The Weeknd, U2, Rosalía, Dr Dre, and Kendrick Lamar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDevlin's work is at once deeply personal and inherently collective.
