Katie Kaur seeks to slow down time. In her hand-stitched paintings, moments are suspended in a distant realm, caught between this world and another. The London-based artist draws upon the metaphorical weight of the Panjab rivers – a presence that gives and takes, heals and divides, flows and endures. Kaur interprets the river as a witness to human experience, asking questions of belonging and being. Her work Clay and Blood draws on the Punjabi folk tale of Sohni Mahiwal, using stitched canvas and flowing threads to evoke a river shaped by love, loss and contradiction.
