Nolan’s work is concerned with connections and memory, as experienced through deep time, land, language and the body. A methodology of research situated within the landscape is integral to Nolan’s way of working, often incorporating organic material sourced onsite in her 2 dimensional works. Working in film, photography, writing and performative drawing, Nolan contextualises sites of direct contact between the human and wider ecological world as active sites of potential exchange. Sites where perceptions may shift, where new questions and understandings may arise, and multiplicities for new ways of being and of becoming may emerge. With an interest in language as a tool for communication, the work investigates if we had access to a language deeply connecting us trough past and present timelines, through conscious and subconscious memories, through human and the wider ecological world, would such a language impact how we relate to our collective home; earth. Would such a language alter how we feel about earth and ultimately integrate as part of it.
