Removing this repetitive section out of Work edit
Taking out this part because it seems to be a repeat of the preceding paragraph overview of Simpson's work. Dropping it here because there are plenty of good references we should not lose. Also, just in case an editor wants to add something back. I don't think we need it though.
- Simpson came to prominence in the 1980s for large-scale works combining photography with text that defied traditional conceptions of sex, race, history, and memory. Known for her exploration of the black female identity, she is also interested in the American identity, universal figures, and universality.[1] She intentionally portrays African-American women in a way that is neither derogatory nor actual representations of the women portrayed.[2] Simpson also explores ambiguity in her work, including "gaps and contradictions so that not all the viewer's questions are answered."[3] Simpson's "high level of conceptional sophistication and social awareness"[4] has gained positive attention, as has her use of political issues. Simpson has "seized on conceptualism's signature tropes-the grid, seriality, repletion, and, above all, language-to examine how our knowledge of the world comes to be organized."[5] Repetition of figures in "minimalist photographs"[6] and text creates a "interplay of text and images"[1] that "relies on repetition to make clear the difference that racialization makes."[7] Drawing on this work, she started to create large photos printed on felt that showed public but unnoticed sexual encounters.
