Blending nostalgia with societal critique, Crawl Space draws from girlhood memories—playrooms, childhood toys, whispered secrets—and juxtaposes them with the realities of womanhood. The result is a visually arresting and emotionally charged experience where creatures, monsters, and hybrid forms serve as guardians, protectors, and manifestations of resilience. Harwood’s work is about reclaiming power, confronting inherited behaviors, and embracing the untamed. It’s about protecting the girl Harwood once was and the women around her who continue to fight for agency and respect. The use of self portraiture, not necessarily using facial features but recognizable imagery, aids an audience in connecting with the canvas’ complex content.

​

Crawl Space harnesses Harwood’s anger and frustration, but also her fondness and love. It intertwines girlhood memories with current headlines and allows her to cope however she needs to. The artwork does not keep its hands to itself. From fiery depictions of feminine rage to intimate recollections of childhood wonder, Crawl Space challenges viewers to confront what lurks beneath the surface—both in the hidden corners of our homes and within ourselves
