Noorain Inam is an artist based in London. Her practice explores the construction of identity and belonging through a layering of cultural references and contexts. Noorain creates uncanny, surreal and destabilizing spaces by bringing together deeply personal experiences, storytelling and symbolic motifs. Exploring themes of longing and fear, these phantasmagorical worlds are a meeting ground for imagination and lived reality through painting and sculpture.

Noorain was born in Karachi, Pakistan. In 2019, she received a BFA from Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture and an MFA Painting from Slade School of Fine Art in 2022. Through these experiences, she melds miniature painting techniques with Western expressive gestural painting styles, to create complex emotional landscapes.

Nina Royle is an artist based in West Cornwall. Her work is centred in painting but is also made as text, performance and utilitarian object.

Her most recent work explores the hand mirror as a symbol that has a plurality of readings, connected to ideas of vanitas, divining, reflection, morality and the appearance of things. Recent solo exhibitions include: And so, the Magpies Multiply, Kestle Barton, Cornwall (2024); Down Your Tresses, Arusha, Edinburgh 2022; Tongues and Mirrors in Mercury, Kingsgate Project Space, London (2021).
