Art Practice:
Kavita’s practice builds its language from the shapeshifting canvas of the sidewalks and her immediate environment. Her artworks encourage viewers to create pause in their daily lives and engage with the beauty, magic and wonder around them. Serendipity, the passage of time, imperfection, impermanence and the play of the elements are all inherent to her process. Kavita sees parallels between her “found materials” and the lived experience of humans, where our challenges shape our resilience, revealing our inimitable essence. She works intuitively, as such, she “relinquishes control over the outcome and so each artwork is unique, full of endless possibilities.”
