Devlin's artistic practice is deeply rooted in a life-long love of reading and drawing. She transforms the written word into stunning visual narratives, crafting worlds that resonate on both personal and collective levels. From poetry to climate reports, her inspirations are as diverse as the mediums she employs.

Over the past three decades, her work has graced iconic venues such as the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House, each project reflecting her commitment to addressing urgent themes like biodiversity and cultural diversity. Through her installations, Devlin invites us to reflect on our shared experiences and the environment around us.

Published alongside a retrospective exhibition at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, An Atlas of Es Devlin serves as a unique sculptural volume that documents her extensive oeuvre. With over 900 pages of visual and textual commentary, it encapsulates the essence of her artistic journey and the collaborative spirit that drives her work.
