NAOISE HALLORAN-MACKAY
Skyline 2
In this series of paintings, Naoise Halloran-Mackay reduces satellite images of roofs from recently built houses into abstracted architectural forms. The found images have been selected by their resemblance to letters and characters; yet when read linearly they appear illegible, suggesting a distant, unfamiliar language.
Naoise Halloran-Mackay's work documents contemporary Australian attitudes towards housing, landscape and identity in today’s globalised world.
Halloran-Mackay is a young Melbourne-born artist who lives and works in Central Victoria and Melbourne. He graduated from the painting department at the Victorian College of the Arts in 2018. Naoise was the recipient of the 2018 Tolarno Hotel art award, the 2018 Gogo Foundation art award and was one of three artists to undertake the 2019 Macfarlane Fund residency.
