A publication to accompany Victoria Crowe’s 2021 exhibition, Another Time, Another Place.
‘Great art is both timeless and of its moment. The twelve paintings by Victoria Crowe and the accompanying poems by Christine De Luca in this book will resonate powerfully with our memories of isolation and confinement during lockdown. But through the intensity of their observation, their emotion and imagination, the artist and the poet remind us that we should never take the ordinary for granted and that there is mystery and wonder to be found even in our most familiar surroundings.’ – Sir John Leighton, Director-General, The National Galleries of Scotland
