Baoth Mooney's practice moves between visual art, performance and music, and her recent PhD work has researched ecopsychosocial relationships of care through textile in human-human contexts. Finan's work is assembled from interactive digital media and includes organising events and collaborating with universities, museums, artists, fungi, lichen, birds, ants and trees. Kelly experiments with the rural landscape, developing works in a posthuman relationship with land and dreamscape. McMorrow has a mixed media practice, primarily painting and collage, and leads community-facing educational and collaborative projects.
