VCA ART 2020

Nina Sanadze

Honours

A burning sense of urgency to respond to and grapple with a myriad of contemporary socio-political and personal developments drive my creative practice. Unbridled by choice of mediums, I resort to anything and everything to deliver the point and speak to the given time and audience. Humour and beauty allow me to address often disturbing concerns, reflecting the complex paradigm of our existence, which is simultaneously sublime and horrific.

Presenting appropriated original artefacts, blunt replicas or documentary films as witnesses and evidence, I seek to re-examine our grand political narratives from a diametric personal position. Looking is my tool and everything around me is a potential material. I like to share this contemplative, sensory space where, through looking, one remembers, feels and reflects.
