Isabel Nolan is a contemporary Irish artist who works with sculpture, textile, photographs or text. Nolan lives and works in Dublin.

Career

Nolan, similarly to Eva Berendes, Nicholas Byrne and Richard Wright, uses pre-modern pattern-making and craftsmanship to re-investigate the importance of making.[1][dead link‍] 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]
