EXHIBITION
Suhasini Seelin | Multimedia Gallery
Opening 6pm Friday 19th of March 2021
Showing from the 19th March | 3rd April
This video work, created during lockdown in India (where the Melbourne-based artist happened to be), involves two pairs of hands going about daily activities, with a new post pandemic addition - hand sanitizer.
As we're thrown into a world of staying stuck in one place, fear and mistrust, all we have are questions. How do we negotiate moments of fun, joy and pleasure amidst the confusion, irritability and annoyance caused by the new unknown? How do we navigate our way through spaces, ensuring physical distance?
Does physical distance create social distance? Perhaps this colourless liquid with its sterile, chemical smell is the answer to all problems created by the situation. It makes human interaction possible again.
It's the new hero in our new normal world. We know we need sanitizer, but how necessary is human touch? Meanwhile, we keep sanitizing our hands obsessively... for sanity.

‘Ways of Seeing: Miya/Significant Plants – Beginnings’ showcases works from five culturally diverse, female artists – Glynis Lee, Angelina Lewis, Juwayning Lorraine Williams, Linda Yarrowin, Nena Zanos - created during a printmaking project at Wagait Beach.

Have you ever spent so long not talking to other people that when you finally did, your voice cracked? Have you ever been somewhere so remote that if you died, no-one would know and you might not be found for weeks - if ever?
