Nancy Crow: On My Mind CONSTRUCTIONS / RIFFS/ DRAWINGS/ MONOPRINTS

Nancy Crow has been internationally recognized in contemporary quiltmaking and fiber arts since the 1970s. She continues to develop innovative techniques that provide a range of expressive imagery.  Ms. Crow lives and works near Baltimore, Ohio where she has established an active teaching workshop and studio.  

This selection of her works from the past two decades provides an opportunity for reflection on her life’s work and experience. Having lived on a farm for over 40 years, owning first 100 acres and now 218 acres, she has borne witness to ongoing change through man-made destruction watching how nature struggles to survive. She has seen the rapid disappearance of historic timber frame barns and the intrusion of railroads, roads, and housing into the land once held as farms. On the other hand she has watched growth and regeneration in her fields as well as the majesty of the trees and crops.

There are four series of works that are included: CONSTRUCTIONS, RIFFS, DRAWINGS, and MONOPRINTS. The KSU Museum is honored to present approximately 40 large scale works in the Museum’s Broadbent Gallery. 

This exhibition is supported by Linda L. McDonald, Ph.D., and Pat Brownell in honor of Logan Brownell. The Kent State University Museum receives generous operating support through a sustainability grant from the Ohio Arts Council.
