The Work of Rose B. Simpson

Jonathan Batkin, Preface
Porter Swentzell, Essay
Yve Chavez, Essay

This catalogue accompanied Rose B. Simpson's first solo exhibition in 2018 at the Wheelwright Museum. Simpson grew up in a permaculture environment on Santa Clara Pueblo in northern New Mexico among a family of renowned potters and artists'—her mother is the famed sculptor Roxanne Swentzell. Simpson's self-reflective work has made a big impact on the contemporary art scene. The pieces feature life-size mixed-media sculptures, faces, and monumental figures in the traditional medium of clay, combined with welded steel and leather. A range of sculptural styles and sizes reflect the trajectory of Simpson's recent work.
