"The Series Lombardy has been one of the most difficult to realise, having found myself so emotionally attached to the place and its people." reveals Crawford, who visited the mountainous region of the Valli Intelvi, Lombardy, Italy in November 2019, just before the Coronavirus outbreak. A complex use of different creative mediums is an instinctive reaction and the final artwork created in a fine art form.
Crawford’s work begins with analogue images, illustrations and paper sculptures of the landscape which provide a starting place and outline for the topography and final image ideas. The process of layering the analogue images creates a dislocated landscape reflecting the lives of the local people. The digital paint revealing the virus.
