Lorna Simpson

Waterbearer 1986


Calling upon her position as an African-American woman, Lorna Simpson plays with perception of women and race in her work. Using text and photography, almost like a slogan campaign or a flyer for political change.

Very truthful and brutally honest, her work is about creating her own role and place as she sees fit whilst ackowledging and commenting on the roles of African-American women in the past.

Five day forcast 1998
