artist statement.

The Grapes of Melancholy
Those small private – unobserved – instants before functioning for the day or going to sleep, those are the trigger for mewing’s work. Our secret embarrassments, well hidden from voyeuristic looks, find their expression in her drawings. They lead us back to our most private moments. Feeling up your own body, cutting your toe nails, breathing your own spirit.
We are startled by this breach of privacy and realize that those allegedly intimate situations are only part of humanity’s immanent behavioural pattern, in the end.
This understanding leaves us with a queasy feeling and questions us as individuals.
