Diane Simpson : Drawing, Prints 1976–2014

8 Feb-3 May 2020

Overview

In Simpson’s first institutional solo presentation in Europe, Nottingham Contemporary will present five decades of work by the American sculptor, most of which have never previously been shown in the UK. Meticulously handcrafted, Simpson’s sculptures are constructed from components of fibreboard, plywood and other everyday materials that seamlessly interlock. Forms are borrowed from architectural details, clothing and the bodies that inhabit them, reflecting an interest in the coexistence of the domestic and industrial worlds. Simpson’s process will be represented in the exhibition through preparatory drawings on graph paper exhibited alongside sculpture.
