2012 - Sculpture (Sculpture)

Diane Simpson


Simpson’s sculptural practice connects architecture, clothing, furniture and the body to explore the functional and sociological roles and the influence of the design and architecture of various cultures and periods in history. Her sculptures hold very specific references and are developed and transformed through revised drawings to create hybrid forms that are directed by her means of construction and choice of materials.


Diane Simpson is interested in a seamless shifting from body to architectural form in the melding of the wearable with the structural un-wearable. Her sculptures are a very unique sentence in the conversation around architecture, the body, feminism and industrialism. Simpson has recently been rediscovered after years of not showing in mayor museums or galleries.
