Family Album – Aoife Nolan, Graduate Residency Solo Exhibition

January 26 - March 11, 2023
The Lord Mayor's Pavilion
Funded By

Family Album

This work speaks to a primal human need for connection. Connection to each other, our sense of self and our collective home, Mother Earth.  Inspired by nature and yogic practice, interior and exterior landscapes merge. A methodology of research situated within the natural landscape is integral to the creation of this work, supporting the practice of the artist functioning as conduit between subject and materiality. Processes used include; exploring copper, a metal found in earth and human tissue, known to conduct energy and said to enhance psychic abilities. Indexing organic surfaces: a tactile act dissolving the illusion of separateness. The resulting contemporary landscapes are a mapping of sensory, intuitive, felt, experiences of connection, into physical form.

The exhibition opens on January 26th with a launch reception at 4pm and will run until March 11th in The Lord Mayor’s Pavilion in Fitzgerald’s Park, Cork.
