The weakened eye of day

Isabel Nolan’s various sized ceramic sculptures are placed on the gallery floor. Each sculpture looks like stacked bowls, and is coloured in white, pale blue, or pale yellow.

This is the second in a sequence of complementary exhibitions of diverse new works linked via an overarching concept, that of light as an aesthetic, emotional, spiritual and philosophical metaphor for truth. This exhibition is originated by the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin and presented in collaboration with CAG and Mercer Union, Toronto
