Simpson structures this work around tension and reliance, offering a clear homage to Indigenous matriarchal systems. Industrial hardware intersects with hand-built ceramic; support is visible and uncompromising. The figures are distinctly female, each singular yet part of a shared structure. Throughout her practice, Simpson returns to lineage, responsibility, and inherited strength—how identity is carried forward through women who absorb pressure without surrendering form. In Generations, endurance is built into the architecture of the piece itself.
