These photographs revisit the miniature elements Simmons introduced in her seminal work of the late 1970s. These photographs are of dramatically lighted installation views of architectural models filled with furniture and occasional figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laurie Simmons is an American artist, photographer and filmmaker. Since the mid-1970s, Simmons has staged scenes for her camera with dolls, ventriloquist dummies, objects on legs, and people, to create photographs that reference domestic scenes. She is part of The Pictures Generation, a name given to a group of artists who came to prominence in the 1970s. The Pictures Generation also includes Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, and Louise Lawler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
