Savannah Crawford
Savannah Crawford is a multimedia artist with a BFA in printmaking and a minor in art history from Ohio University. Although printmaking is her key discipline, she often incorporates painting, drawing, mixed
media, video, and photography into her art. While her past work has been largely based on exploring synesthesia as well as other neurological and psychological phenomena, her ongoing work touches on many different concepts. She has long compared her method of creating to that of a magpie, a bird known for collecting treasures and winding them into its nest. This comparison is also consistent with how she hopes viewers interact with her work, sharing what she has found, while also allowing them to discern what is most meaningful, and to carry it with them.
Artist Statement for “We’re all Just Trying to Heal from Something”
It can often feel like we are all drowning, as ifthere isnothing to hold onto. Thereis a sense of hopelessness that comes from looking around for a hand to hold only to see others submerged. Yet, there is the nagging of hope just above the mire, at first seeming to mock, but truthfully beckoning us to heal ourselves and to heal each other.
