The Warrior Artist

'My studio is in my head' Aoife Nolan shares her creative process [13]


Listen Later

Aoife Nolan's successfully operated her own fashion business for over a decade before going to art college. Aoife describes this change like a switch, like shutting one door and opening another. In the Crawford College of Art and Design, she was awarded the RHA student access programme and her graduate show received several awards.  She has exhibited in Ireland and in the Endicott College, Massachusetts in the US. 

Aoife describes her work as the merging of interior and exterior landscape and her work is inspired our need for connection and for connection to the earth.

Aoife's practice includes experimental processes, such as corroding copper, making her own pigments from natural materials and harvesting rainwater.
