To read Earl Lovelace, I believe – is to pick up a magnifying glass, sliding it slowly over the surface. Watching the skin, texture, colour, irregularity, fault lines, constellations. The sensitivity of our interior landscapes, where a wound used to be. Same time, paying attention to the pleasant familiarity, discomfort, memory and soundscape that this exercise creates.
I’ve Seen This Place Before, the first solo Exhibition by Sabrina Sinanan calls us in to pause, if only for a moment and steady our attention in this moment, to observe and even to question: how and why we’ve found ourselves here, now, at this specific time.
