Cindy Sherman
American · b. 1954

Sherman similarly uses constructed interior domestic spaces and staged photographic scenes to explore identity and psychological tension, often employing bold color and theatrical lighting in ways that echo Simmons's deliberate artifice in this bathroom setting.

Sandy Skoglund
American · b. 1946

Skoglund is known for elaborately constructed color photography featuring saturated, contrasting hues within interior environments, closely mirroring Simmons's use of vivid color opposition between figure and domestic space in this dye destruction work.

Gregory Crewdson
American · b. 1962

Crewdson creates highly staged, cinematic large format photographs of interior domestic scenes with carefully controlled color palettes and an uncanny psychological mood that parallels the surreal and color saturated domestic atmosphere Simmons constructs in this piece.
