How we see

2018

Artist Statement

How we see is two digital drawings about perception and imagination. The visual system is biologically complex and made up of several nodes of information that come together to make an image that we see. What do we see when there is chaos and despair in our world? I want to play with ideas of relocating how we see.



Bio and Websites


Bhavna Mehta works with paper, cutting and embroidering it to tell stories that combine figurative imagery with botanical motifs, text and shadows. Using paper as skin and thread to connect and mend, using cutting and sewing to talk about exposing and hiding, she makes work about relating and remembering.


Mehta has exhibited widely in San Diego and Southern California. She is the recipient of the Artists In Communities grant from the California Arts Council (2017, 2019) in partnership with Art Produce and the Creative Catalyst grant from The San Diego Foundation (2015) with Oceanside Museum of Art. She has won multiple awards in juried shows and she was one of the San Diego Art Prize emerging artist winners.
