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.
