Isabel Nolan is an Irish contemporary artist who works with sculpture, textile, photographs, and text.
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.
[2] The work is often the result of a slow and deliberate process, matching pattern with en elusive sense of order.
[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.
Nolan was one of a group of seven artists who represented Ireland in the 2005 Venice Biennale.
