Lorna Simpson
b. 1960 · American
Lorna Simpson emerged in the 1980s with photographic works that pair cropped images of Black women with short textual fragments, complicating assumptions about identity, gender and documentary truth. Her later practice expanded into film, collage and large paintings based on archival imagery, landscape and ice.
