Chicago based artist Diane Simpson creates work that evolves from a diverse range of clothing and architectural sources. She begins her practice by making an isometric drawing of a three-dimensional object, such as an apron or a catcher’s bib, and focuses on abstracting the object in part by incorporating an apparatus for the object: a stand or other means of hanging the object in space. Using this drawing as a schematic, she then re-constructs a three-dimensional object from the two-dimensional rendering. In a 2010 essay, curator Lynne Warren accurately refers to Simpson as a “shape-sifter”.
