Viano Crowe’s work is intricately detailed, pattern-filled, visually full, expressing passionate feeling and transformation. It is clear that the work is her labor of love, shown in the intricate cutting, slicing, and polychroming techniques required to complete each paper piece. Her process is consistent no matter the material at hand. In her photographically-based work, she colors, tones, tears, cuts, glues, and laminates to collage elements. The parti or design plan for each piece is essential as she fuses and melds to mete out its meaning. Viano Crowe’s journey is her quest. She is unafraid, undaunted, and steadfast. She owns a principled feminist and humanist foundation. She and her work move continually forward with conviction, promise, and optimism.
