She received her Master of Fine Art from Belfast College of Art, Ulster University in 2020 and a BA (Hons) History of Art and Fine Art, Sculpture from the National College of Art and Design, Dublin in 2012. Using methods of research, she explores ideas of ‘material-to-hand’ and land-use through video, animation and sculptural installation. She uses various interpretations of archive to delve into landscape within industrial, social and historical contexts. She recently exhibited her solo show ‘at a distance’ at Queen Street Studios, Belfast in March 2024. Nollaig is currently on studio residency in The Model, Sligo.

Laura McMorrow is a visual artist from Leitrim. She holds a Masters in Fine Art from the University of Ulster in Belfast (2012) and she graduated with a degree in painting from Limerick School of Art and Design (2008). Her practice incorporates painting, video installation, animation, sculpture and collage. Her work is held in the National Drawing Collection. Laura is also part of the collective ^ who run an artist-led studio and experimental space in Manorhamilton. In 2023, the collective worked together on a collaborative project called Waking the Land that considered environmental grief, supported by the Irish Hospice Foundation.

Chloë Delanghe is a visual artist and filmmaker working predominantly with lens-based media. Her work dissects imaginations of intimacy, stitching together stories and images relating to the inheritance of social class, the tension between artistic codes of professionalism and amateurism and a highly personal approach to the camera-machine as a paradox: wielding the potential to repair, emancipate or destroy what is shown. She was awarded the VOCATIO award for Fine Arts in 2021. She published her first photobook titled Reasons to Be Cheerful in 2016 by WIELS and Motto Books. She is currently working on a second book titled Famyly. She is a founding member of elephy.

Chloë's work has been widely exhibited and screened at museums, galleries and festivals and including The Grand Chelsea in New York, Tokas Hongo in Tokyo, EMAF in Osnabrück, WIELS in Brussels, S.M.A.K. in Ghent, Courtisane Film Festival, Visions du Réel, Harlan Levey Projects in Brussels and De Brakke Grond in Amsterdam. Delanghe has taken part in various residency programs such as WIELS, Brussels (2015); FLACC, Genk (2017); STRT KIT AAIR, Antwerp (2018); Tokyo Arts and Space, Tokyo (2019); Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris (2022).
