Skull Moss: medicinal materia. The foreign in us amid the familiar. Skull Moss: an apparition of history; deeply buried, now resurfacing…what we won’t apprehend--but must--to stem the flow of loss. The Diaphanous Body: human experience. Moving in light, coloured by what surrounds, what reflects. The Diaphanous Body: the space inside and without; the waking and dream state...known, intimate and unsaid in thought or word. Exhibition open Mon-Fri 10am-1pm and 2pm-4:30pm. Admission free, all welcome. I am now represented by Dolan/Maxwell in Philadelphia. (June 2026)Born in Dublin, Irish visual artist Nuala Clarke studied Fine Art Painting at the National College of Art and Design, graduating in 1993 before relocating to New York City, where she lived and worked for nearly two decades. During her years in New York, Clarke developed a practice rooted in abstraction, material experimentation, and an ongoing dialogue between landscape and perception. A pivotal moment in Clarke’s career came in 2007, when she received a fellowship to the Ballinglen Arts Foundation in northwest Mayo. Returning regularly from New York over the following years, she became increasingly influenced by the Atlantic landscape, the close-knit artistic community, and the contemplative pace of rural Ireland. In 2013, she moved permanently to the west of Ireland, where she continues to live and work today. Clarke’s paintings and multidisciplinary projects explore themes of memory, atmosphere, science, language, and the natural world. Her work often merges abstraction with literary and philosophical references, creating compositions that feel both intuitive and deeply researched. She has collaborated frequently with writer Crystal Gandrud, producing artist books and interdisciplinary publications that combine text and image. Recent projects have drawn inspiration from the writings and scientific experiments of seventeenth-century Irish philosopher and scientist Robert Boyle. &nbsp; <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6b9c1218398c2e6a1af8eac17cde8a504e81a4cc60808414afe7b5735036860a/IMG_3215.jpeg" data-mid="249474474" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6b9c1218398c2e6a1af8eac17cde8a504e81a4cc60808414afe7b5735036860a/IMG_3215.jpeg" /> In addition to her studio practice, Clarke sits on the board of the Yeats Society. Her work has been included in exhibitions in Ireland, the United States, and Japan. <img width="1976" height="2574" width_o="1976" height_o="2574" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/816128a387e6e549f2b59ddf975b67f4207cf88437ee8d5f769e9b30fe2d5e98/dark-painting-paper.jpg" data-mid="249319391" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/816128a387e6e549f2b59ddf975b67f4207cf88437ee8d5f769e9b30fe2d5e98/dark-painting-paper.jpg" /> I have been enjoying time in the studio making new work...&nbsp; <img width="2488" height="1610" width_o="2488" height_o="1610" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8782590588b08ade69e5aef09718c322538563aef9e31651f929cbaa10df3cd9/Screenshot-2026-06-11-at-4.52.30p.m..png" data-mid="249474482" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8782590588b08ade69e5aef09718c322538563aef9e31651f929cbaa10df3cd9/Screenshot-2026-06-11-at-4.52.30p.m..png" />https://irishartistsfilmindex.ie/ PASTArtist TALK Skibbereen Arts Festival WHEN: July 28, 2006, 1:30pm WHERE: Uillinn: West Cork Arts CentreSpoken WordArt.

Four site specific paintings now hang at the John Sterne Library at Trinity Medical School, which is on the campus of St James's Hospital in Dublin.

It is a work of art.-Catherine Marshall. Curator, Art Historian Visual artist Nuala Clarke explores three bodies of her work (or “healings”) and through them, navigates an ever-deepening awareness of the mystery of being and painting; demonstrating that such awareness is both an essential requirement for—and the innate result of—abstraction.Clarke reflects upon her relationship with four Roberts—Irwin, Brown, Chender, and Boyle—examining how each Robert illuminates the path of her practice. In their own ways, the four Roberts demonstrate and encourage her investigation into the relationship between creative force and abstraction, what it requires, and where one must fearlessly travel to do so. Equally conveyed in her words and paintings, Clarke delicately unfolds the vibrant alchemical process as practiced while an artist paints, loves, swims, forgets, remembers, and rests in dream.Beautifully crafted, Irish Moss of A Dead Man’s Skull is 216 full-colour uncoated pages, with 86 images, sewn binding, and luxurious five-inch French flaps. It is both of and about the words and images within—It is a fierce meditation on the inherent healing power of abstract art, a small installation to marvel through on the train, in the tub, or, perhaps, just before a refreshing swim in the Irish sea.”&nbsp;&nbsp; Available: &nbsp;https://theowlcircus.com/ and Amazon. <img width="416" height="258" width_o="416" height_o="258" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ed9e47807dc7e44fc4041a04eaa08c8f8a1fc4faee2b3bd5e784c15046d79499/TOC-main-logo_cmyk_print.jpg" data-mid="226472478" border="0" data-scale="42" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/416/i/ed9e47807dc7e44fc4041a04eaa08c8f8a1fc4faee2b3bd5e784c15046d79499/TOC-main-logo_cmyk_print.jpg" /> &nbsp; &nbsp;<img width="3280" height="2268" width_o="3280" height_o="2268" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/510e08d3fd17ad314064f04543afd063eea8c13a9aec310fbe7f7aa56a2007c2/Interior-book-2.jpg" data-mid="230352730" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/510e08d3fd17ad314064f04543afd063eea8c13a9aec310fbe7f7aa56a2007c2/Interior-book-2.jpg" /> Excerpt: <img width="2504" height="1530" width_o="2504" height_o="1530" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f3731fd1c48806343c885a4d24a5e754c63a036ee458376e1d1fc4d3df19692b/Screenshot-2025-03-21-at-3.49.28p.m..png" data-mid="229840430" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f3731fd1c48806343c885a4d24a5e754c63a036ee458376e1d1fc4d3df19692b/Screenshot-2025-03-21-at-3.49.28p.m..png" /> <img width="2510" height="1540" width_o="2510" height_o="1540" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f3134cf225e2516b9999c662849a8dd15f47abce25dd7d208be517690c7de747/Screenshot-2025-03-21-at-3.47.38p.m..png" data-mid="229840424" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f3134cf225e2516b9999c662849a8dd15f47abce25dd7d208be517690c7de747/Screenshot-2025-03-21-at-3.47.38p.m..png" /> Catherine Marshall, Curator, Art Historian May 2025 I wish I had the courage to write like Nuala Clarke. Most of us are so locked into what we think are our rational minds that we can’t put a word, a brush-mark or a smudge on a page without pre-planning. She, however, refuses to direct her creative impulses. Without a trace of ego, she takes on the attributes of those things that concern her – things she references in the words of Robert Boyle as ‘rather Cosmicall than Dogmatical.’ In her search to place herself amidst the medieval elements of earth, air, fire, water, to which she adds space, she imagines what it is to be a stone that has barely moved in millennia, the moss growing over time on a dead man’s skull or even more challenging to visualise the shapes of sensations such as that of dislocation. Her undirected world is a Garden of Eden, an age of innocence. How clear sighted we once were! Since then Hegel, Marx, Darwin and Freud have all imposed different versions ofmaterialism on us while capitalism and war eat away at our planet and the cosmos. We need to find balance between her meditative, respectful, sharing world and that feckles scapitalist demand for power and control. We need equilibrium.Clarke skims effortlessly over pre-history (marks on stone from North Mayo), to the more recent past (the incredibly honest writing of Robert Boyle in the 1670s, from visual statements to words, from the individual (herself, or others like her three-year-old nephew)to the wider living species that we all belong to. She notes the impact of sea-swimming in the winter in the North Atlantic before plunging back into Boyle’s diaries grafting his thoughts about colour, light and shape into her artwork, beginning to understand how her need to understand the realities of earth, air, fire, water and space mean that she must be an abstract artist. She has no choice. Her choice takes us to where Kandinsky left off in 1911 and brings his spirituality back to earth. This book is not a book, not even an art book. It is a work of art. Reading it allowed me to share her experience of painting; ‘Making the work changed an internal configuration: my being belonged to the world more fully… ( Clarke, p. 63) Jim Malone, Professor (Emeritus) of Medical Physics, Trinity College Dublin. Nuala Clarke has created a beautiful, unusual, and compelling book. Not in the coffee table sense — but it handles beautifully — and it is beautifully laid out. It is a pleasure to take up and browse or read as takes your fancy. It’s not a novel, or a memoir, or a commentary on her distinctive abstract painting. Rather it is an experiential glimpse into life segments, some vulnerable, and often aligned with her work as an artist. And we see her grow and find wisdom with mentors, some still with us, and one long gone (Robert Boyle). She celebrates and emulates his extraordinary curiosity, the shape of his language, observations on colour, and commitment to cures including — ‘Irish moss of a dead man’s skull’.Nuala Clarke accompanies us on a Camino through her varied existence. We bump into the characters and influences that have made her. After the book, you will know something of her life and losses and will return to it time and again. She is interesting, elusive, and doesn’t reveal all on a first reading. ... begin at minute 16 https://nualaclarke.com/Radiating-Outward-Incrementally Wed, 07 Apr 2021 12:17:33 +0000 NualaClarke https://nualaclarke.com/Radiating-Outward-Incrementally July 2024 <img width="2556" height="2919" width_o="2556" height_o="2919" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e0a0f4325a7259e1510500bd4e2c6883b7dc0102f7ed32c11fd4ca8e212f840b/front.jpg" data-mid="215321740" border="0" data-scale="51" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e0a0f4325a7259e1510500bd4e2c6883b7dc0102f7ed32c11fd4ca8e212f840b/front.jpg" />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <img width="2060" height="3000" width_o="2060" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d88142ef147fa9d3ad1e6bea64241858f7a5660dc1d05fdbad09297605073865/4F5A2308.JPG" data-mid="215355559" border="0" data-scale="40" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d88142ef147fa9d3ad1e6bea64241858f7a5660dc1d05fdbad09297605073865/4F5A2308.JPG" /> Experimental writer Crystal Gandrud and I began, on what was the cusp of the pandemic, in early 2020 in NYC to discuss the Lojong Slogans. These discussions have just become....RADIATING OUTWARD, INCREMENTALLY: A Manual, The Owl Circus.&nbsp; It is an irreverant commentary on the Lojong Slogans of Atișa—which means it’s a rumination on art and dreams and bodies and sex and transmutation and alchemy and fears, desires, numbness. All things. Gandrud &amp; Clarke set about investigating (and sometimes torturing) the nexus of art and philosophical truth, particularly of the Buddhist variety, in this most mysterious and also basic Buddhist teaching. They attempted to pull the 59 Slogans out of the mire of intellectualism and “interpretation/explaining” into the realm of life and space, also known as the feminine.

There is an ever-changing perfection in the relationship between sea, sky, land, night and day where I live. The depths of information and infinite combinations have all the markers of a bucolic paradise. Utopia&nbsp; "an imagined 'place' or state of things in which everything is perfect." has a twist in that its origin is ‘ou topos’ or no place. Inherent in the idea of perfection is the sense of non-existence. As a painter I have recourse in the space of the canvas. It is my utopia, that area where I can find a perfect form, where I have first and last say in the structure and atmosphere. So the criteria for each of these works is that it’s elements must relate to one another in such a way as to create the exact right or true alignment -for me.

I was following up on some research for my upcoming book Irish Moss of a Dead Man’s Skull (The Owl Circus) creating Experiments in Listening. I had the opportunity to make more internalum paintings while I was there. I was quite taken by the colour of the water and spent the month moving between the studio and the sea.I received bursary funding from Fingal Arts Office for the residency and Mayo Arts Office in preparation. I am extremely grateful for this funding as it is what makes the work possible. The works and photos are concurrent. I don’t work from the photos. What they do is show what I am looking at and recording and choosing afterwards as the representations of that time, place and internal workspace. <img width="3024" height="3010" width_o="3024"
