Statement
Currently using various media to explore notions of ‘witness’ and ‘melancholia,’ Kulvinder is drawn to examining near- to-almost-epic events from an emotive point of view, rather than a simply descriptive one. Interested in the distance[s] between landscape, personal context, drawing, painting and response, Ms. Kaur Dhew attempts to engage the viewer through memories of their own paths into or out of the natural environment. ‘Nature’ in this case, is utilized metaphorically for any number of contemporary concerns.
