Kitty Crowther Boeken
Kitty Crowthers illustraties vangen de essentie van beweging en emotie met een simpele, zuivere lijn en een lichte toets. Haar stijl, die niet wordt belast door moeizaam schetsen, vertrouwt op visueel geheugen om gebaren en houdingen weer te geven die haar diep hebben geraakt. Crowther is niet geïnteresseerd in het reproduceren van de werkelijkheid, maar in het heruitvinden van ervaringen, waarbij ze waarachtigheid verkiest boven externe validatie. Haar werk komt voort uit diepgevoelde persoonlijke ervaringen, die ze probeert met trouw te recreëren, en vindt daarin schoonheid en unieke energie.
