Lorna Simpson — Constellation
Lorna Simpson

Constellation

2020

Lorna Simpson's "Constellation" employs ink and screenprint on gessoed fiberglass to create a mixed media work that reflects her conceptual practice. The use of gessoed fiberglass as a support is unconventional, lending the piece a sculptural dimensionality while the screenprinting technique introduces both graphic precision and reproducibility. Simpson's approach characterizes her broader engagement with abstraction, pattern, and the materiality of the artwork itself as a means of disrupting conventional modes of representation and viewing.
