Lorna Simpson's Drawings Explore Hair, War, and Theatrical Disasters

Lorna Simpson's drawings of women's hair examine the relationship between intimate and public spheres, as well as the distinction between information and interpretation. A separate series by the artist addresses what she terms the "orchestrated theatrical disaster" of war. These works form part of the Simpson|Lorna Archives, which is featured on artcritical.com. The content explores how Simpson's artistic practice engages with themes of identity, conflict, and representation through different bodies of work.
