Objects for an Unknown Future Museum is Simpson’s fifth solo show – her second in Sydney at Stanley Street Gallery in Darlinghurst (September 7 to October 1). A Canberra-based artist, she has exhibited nationally in group shows and competitions, most recently the 2016 Blake (Art) Prize.
“The over-arching theme of my work is the consideration of human relations with the land, the values we assign to it and the way it changes over time,” Simpson says. “In this exhibition I use materials collected from marine debris which I then stitch and detail to create ritual artefacts for a ‘future museum’. Ritual and time are combined to transform and empower our detritus.”
