Rose B. Simpson is a mixed-media artist whose work addresses the emotional and existential impacts of our collective humanity. Her practice is grounded in the ancestral pottery traditions of the Santa Clara Pueblo, where she was born, raised, and currently lives. Simpson’s sculptural works imagine a future where people are reconnected with land, rather than further detached from it. Simpson’s exhibition The Four is currently on view at the Museum.
