SANDRA SELIG
Merging glass-like vocals and spoken word with looped sets on saxophone and flute, Sandra Selig’s (one half of Meanjin musical duo Primitive Motion) visual art exhibitions are like nothing you’ve experienced before. Combining a woven veil of sound, made up of everything from metal plates, gongs and cymbals, with improvised poetic prose, Selig’s works have been exhibited in major galleries across Australia and around the world, now is your chance to witness her artistry in person at BIG CITY LIGHTS*.
