Keerat Kaur: If Gardens Could Dream

Surrey Art Gallery, Surrey, BC - Jul 4 – Aug 30

by Michael Turner

Keerat Kaur’s material practice works across painting, sculpture, digital media, embroidery, poetry and performance, with a focus on the lived realities of the South Asian diaspora. For If Gardens Could Dream, Kaur assembles a recurrent series of motifs that, rather than signify as fixed signals, gain meaning through repetition and change, encouraging meditative states over strict instruction. The moon is less a satellite than a timepiece, an emblem of return. The heart is a bodily organ, but also a site of feeling, of devotion. surrey.ca
