Naoise Halloran-Mackay (b. 1997) lives and works in Naarm/Melbourne. His practice navigates the intersections of nature, the domestic, and the mystical. Stylistic and material languages that are at once familiar and elusive are expressed through fragmented visual perspectives, both remembered and imagined. As an amateur birdwatcher and occasional guerrilla ecologist, his work seeks to question how we look at space, shelter, and worlds outside our own.

Naoise’s recent projects include The Space of Light, a major two-person exhibition at the Fiona and Sidney Myer Gallery alongside the work of Virginia Cuppaidge; Quincunx, a solo exhibition at TCB Gallery; and group exhibitions In My Prime at Sullivan+Strumpf Melbourne, and The Way a Stranger Looks at Bus Projects. In 2024, Naoise presented a guest lecture as part of the University of Melbourne’s Art Forum program. He is a graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts (Painting) and Bendigo Tafe (Construction).
