Lorna Simpson

Daydream (Covid Mask)

Wedel Art Collective, 2020

12.6 x 20 cm. 

Edition size unknown

Machine-washable lightweight triple-layered cotton canvas face mask featuring artwork by Lorna Simpson. 

"This blue face covering is from Wedel Art Collective’s charitable capsule collection and is designed by artist Lorna Simpson, whose early work – particularly her striking juxtapositions of text and staged images – raised questions about the nature of representation, identity, gender, race and history that continue to drive the artist’s expanding and multi-disciplinary practice today. The cotton canvas is contoured to fit the shape of your face and is printed with a 2020 work called Daydream, part of a series of monochromatic paintings created by layering several faces of women who appear in Ebony magazine adverts, culminating in surreal portraits."
