Her subjects are often presented as discarded artifacts strewn through densely populated interiors or acid-washed landscapes, exploring an interest in how historic events are viewed differently over time. To decipher Crow’s works means to find the dichotomies within her compositions – man and nature, past and present – and ponder the symbiotic relationships between them.
