    "Crow has always been a student of history—political history, pop-cultural history, art-and-design history. Critics have described many of her large-scale, epic compositions as contemporary history paintings. But she does not depict history as it unfolded or even as we wish it had unfolded. Instead, she shows history as we might actually receive it today: distorted, manipulated, heightened, blurred, and out of context."

    Rosson Crow studio, 2024.

    "Crow’s process makes tangible and literal our tendency to receive information in fragments and reassemble those fragments to suit whatever narrative we wish to put forward. But Crow is not looking to fool anyone. By creating unlikely juxtapositions— like distorted American flags framing a cluster of cactuses—and using hues of bright pink, acid yellow, and lime green, she puts the artificial, constructed nature of her images at the forefront. Then, she adds another layer of complexity on top. Her drips and visible brushstrokes remind the viewer—in a way we often forget or doubt when interacting online—that there is actually a real person behind what we are seeing."

  • "As a viewer, you have choices. You can avert your eyes. You can loosen your gaze and let the whole picture go blurry. Or you can commit to looking more closely, zooming in on a drip here, an overlap of images there. In the Babel story, God ensures that we are no longer able to communicate easily or trust what we hear. But Crow’s work offers a path to a different ending. If we slow down, look and listen carefully, and resolve to sit in our discomfort, Crow seems to suggest, we might eventually be able to engage meaningfully with one another again."
