Dionne Simpson
Dionne Simpson is a Toronto-based painter and textile artist of Jamaican descent. Simpson creates voids in large canvases by pulling threads from them to create voids within them as a result of her family history and textile practices. The canvas is further destroyed and embellished by adding various paint pigments and found pigments, such as White Out and hair dye, into the spaces left behind. The canvas represents the underlying fabric of Canadian society, where she embeds fragments of our culture into the window frames.
