Nina Sanadze
Hana and Child
Nina Sanadze’s Hana and Child is an installation of clay sculptures throughout the Museum’s spaces depicting mothers with their children. Sanadze’s works offer an emotive interpretation of a single black-and-white photograph, while also referencing and subverting iconography of the Madonna and child. Known for her large-scale installations using replicas and original artefacts, Sanadze draws on the political, the familial – including her own family history in Georgia (former USSR) – and the poetic to examine peace, conflict and humanity.
