Sandra Selig's practice incorporates various art forms, including sound pieces, small-scale works on paper and site-specific installations. Purchased in 2004, Selig's mid-air is presented for the first time at the Gallery as part of 'Prime 2005: New Art from Queensland'. This large installation consists of Styrofoam balls beaded onto monofilament which forms two intersecting tubes spanning the Gallery's internal architecture. In certain lights and from various perspectives, the balls appear to hover in space.

Complementing mid-air is a series of works on paper featuring spider webs harvested by the artist from her garden. Like the large thread works that Selig constructs, these tiny arachnid installations use the same technique of plotting points across a void which are then systematically connected with fibre. Unlike Selig's mid-air, which has captured numerous white balls, these red spider webs appear to be made for no other purpose than their aesthetic beauty, with many of them resembling abstract expressionist ink drawings.

Born in Sydney in 1972, Selig completed a Master of Arts (Research) Visual Arts, at the Queensland University of Technology (1999). She has participated in a number of significant exhibitions including, 'Primavera' (Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney) in 2004, and the international artist-in-residence program at the Guernsey College of Further Education (Great Britain) in 2003.
