Drawing Nature features the culmination of Eva Nolan's Master of Fine Arts Research. Her body of work explores the abiding relevance of Linnaean taxonomy on our awareness of human/nature relationships. Referencing drawing's role as a tool to understand and document natural phenomena, Nolan's creative approach is both empirical and speculative as she reimagines systems of biological classification. Her research critiques Linnaean binary logic as inherently exploitative and anthropocentric by exploring a network of creative authorship that entwines and transcends dyadic themes and processes. Oscillating between analogue and digital, micro and macroscopic, Nolan's body of work investigates how expanded drawing can collapse boundaries between corporeal and virtual, spectator and artwork, human and environment.
