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

Nolan frequently makes reference to the aesthetics of cosmology. The work is often the result of a slow and deliberate process, matching pattern with en elusive sense of order. 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. 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''. Career Her work has been shown in the Irish Museum of Mo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

People From County Dublin
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts.
