In 1922, a meteorite landed in Baldwyn, Mississippi near a Black tenant farmer named Ed Bush, who was only recorded as 'a negro tenant' in historical documentation.
Lorna Simpson's work explores the intersection of cosmic events and the historical obscuring of figures like Ed Bush, highlighting societal limitations in recognizing marginalized voices.
Simpson's exhibition, titled 'Earth & Sky,' juxtaposes the grand scale of the cosmos with the constraining realities of Earth, prompting reflections on historical narratives.
Through her series of paintings and sculptures, Simpson creates a dialogue about the forces of gravity and violence, showcasing the interplay between the celestial and the earthly.
