Rose Nolan

Rose Nolan (born 1959) is an Australian visual artist based in Melbourne with work held in the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia.

[1][2] She makes work in a variety of material forms: books, small sculptures, photographs, posters, paintings, banners, multiples and large-scale installations.

She uses raw and inexpensive materials, such as hessian and cardboard; with the work displaying an unmistakable sense of personal labour through its handmade aesthetic.

[5] She was one of a group of Australian artists who were part a loose cooperative and space connected to the experimental Store 5 Melbourne ARI between 1989 and 1993.

[4] Frequent tropes include language, concentrating on the linguistic qualities of words and their connection to architectural space as a material form .
