 Modern Ghosts 
1985-1987


Read About the Series


 





This series of oil paintings  and the accompanying suite of charcoal drawings, entitled Speed of Light, started in Montreal, during a sojurn there in 1985.  Simpson began working on the series of organic abstractions just before returning to the west coast in 1985.  These works invite us into a realm populated by totemic beings which are like the phenomenon of simulacara in nature, where rocks, or landforms, occasionally resemble animals or people.
