""It feels liberating as an artist that I'm not constantly trying to realize a vision I've had that I could become disappointed by," Noland explained. Instead, she listens to the work and, in return, it 'makes its own demands about how it should be.'"
"Nolan's practice is heavily research-driven. Her exhibition for the Biennale, 'Dreamshook,' centers on the story of Aldo Manuzio, a highly influential printer who set up shop in Venice in the late 15th century."
Isabel Nolan, an artist with aphantasia, cannot visualize her thoughts, leading to a unique creative process. This neurological condition, defined in 2015, has revealed that many artists experience it, contradicting common beliefs about creativity. Nolan finds liberation in not being bound to a preconceived vision, allowing her work to dictate its own form. Her upcoming exhibition, "Dreamshook," reflects her research into Aldo Manuzio, a printer who revolutionized reading in the late 15th century, and her interest in the late medieval period's shift towards humanist ideals.
