McBride Contemporain is pleased to share that Lorraine Simms' Shadowland series has been featured in this Fall's Vie des arts magazine alongside an article by Marie Perrault. In this piece, Perrault explores Simms' new publication Eidolons as well as Simms' practice of drawing the fossils of vulnerable species.
Lorraine Simms’ practice is located in a form of contemporary interrogation and commentary upon nature. Animal forms have appeared in her paintings, drawings and sculptures for over twenty years. Her recent works explore our relationship to the natural world by highlighting the manner in which animals are represented within our society, over the long course of their depiction in still-life drawing and painting, as well as in terms of their posthumous collection and scientific understanding.
