Shanshan’s paint brush writes a diary, recording her life and emotional journeys.

Fate led her from China to Australia, then from Sandy Bay to downtown. She now lives one stop away from Glenorchy centre. The houses here are different from those near the university. The people look different to her too – like people with stories.

Living in her new home, Shanshan tries to familiarise herself with all the surroundings within one kilometre of her home. Her paintings are careful observations of the strangeness, novelty and warmth that she discovers around every corner.

Shanshan was awarded this exhibition through MAC’s Supported Opportunity program, encouraging artists in the early stages of their practice.
