Isabel Nolan is an Irish contemporary artist who works with sculpture, textile, photographs, and text. Nolan lives and works in Dublin.
Nolan, according to a review of her work in Frieze Magazine, works similarly to Eva Berendes, Nicholas Byrne and Richard Wright, by using pre-modern pattern-making and craftsmanship to re-investigate the importance of making. [1] Nolan frequently makes reference to the aesthetics of cosmology. [2] The work is often the result of a slow and deliberate process, matching pattern with en elusive sense of order. [3] Nolan's work often has its origins in literary works, such as Thomas Hardy's poem The Darkling Thrush that provided the title for The Weakened Eye of Day, a work she conceived for the Irish Museum of Modern Art in 2014. [4] As part of The Weakened Eye of Day, she wrote a piece of "speculative fiction" in the form of an online audio work called The Three Body Problem. [5]
Her work has been shown in the Irish Museum of Modern Art, the Musée d’art moderne de Saint Etienne, France and Mercer Union. Nolan was one of a group of seven artists who represented Ireland in the 2005 Venice Biennale. [6]
