Niamh Moloney (b. Dublin, Ireland) is an artist and writer based in Glasgow.

She graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 2018 with an MLitt in Fine Art Practice. She recently received the Creative Scotland Open Fund for her project Working on the Neptune Line. Her work has appeared at the Art Car Boot Sale Glasgow and featured in the book New Rituals, Neue Rituale. Exhibitions include other~worlds at Kiosk Glasgow, A Haunting of What Once Was at QSS Belfast and Thriving in Disturbed Ground at 16 Nicholson Street. Her previous work has included co-founding Outline Studios in Glasgow and co-curating Must Use Critical Knowledge (MUCK).

Her work explores the continuity between self, other (both human & more than human) and the wider cosmos. Consistent threads of narrative, time and place are interwoven to link happenings in the physical world with the unseen and the mysterious. Drawing is a keystone of her practice working as a research method and starting point for her installations and sculpture. Her installations utilise made, found and gifted objects, symbols, texts and a variety of other ephemeral materials. These include wax, sugar, honey, wine, flower petals, crystals silk and scent. Much of what she makes are forms of ritualistic offerings to the heavens and/or mythological deities.
