JENNIFER CROWE

Jennifer Crowe has loved to fill journals as long as she or anyone can remember. The fragments of text combine poetry and the mundane in a struggle to find a whole in her experiences. Crowe’s words are layered enough to visually flatten itself to become powerful and immovable forms. Her process is methodical, working from left to right and top to bottom filling the void of empty space until the viewer is trapped somewhere between the impulse to read and a pure visual experience.

Crowe lives in Cincinnati, Ohio where she has been making art at the Visionaries + Voices studio for years. She keeps journals of autobiographical writing, which slowly have become more entrenched, in her art-making process. Her work has recently been exhibited in the “Underlying system is not known” at Western Exhibitions in Chicago and the “Outsider Art Fair in New York.
