- Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Rose B. Simpson, from the "Everyday Icons" episode in the eleventh season of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.
"Everyday Icons" premiered in April 2023 on PBS.
On a rare snowy day in Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico, artist Rose B. Simpson assembles a maquette for a new public sculpture. The three small figures are models for the 12 concrete sculptures that stand nearly 11 feet tall at the Field Farm meadow in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Gazing forward with soft expressions and eyes that are hollowed through the back of their heads, the sculptures embody ancestors watching over the landscape. Simpson’s work stems from these moments of observation and connections to the past, emphasizing the processes of making and becoming in which we discover new ways of being and of healing. Working quickly and intuitively in her studio, the artist shapes her clay sculptures by hand using a technique she developed called “slap-slab.” Each of her clay sculptures is embedded with fingerprints and other evidence of the artist’s hand, leaving traces of the act of making that produced the work. “I’m trying to reveal our deep truth,” says Simpson, “and that deep truth is process.”
Rose B. Simpson was born in 1983 in Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico, where she lives and works today. In 2007, the artist received her BFA from the Institute of American Indian Arts, and in 2011, she received her MFA in Ceramics from the Rhode Island School of Design. Simpson’s work reflects on the multilayered history of her home in New Mexico and of the United States, exploring modes of empowerment and resilience that carry traditions into the future. Working across media, the artist finds new ways to connect past and present, express experience and identity, and contemplate freedom and strength.

Great video. This is, I think, the kind of women we need in our time. Women who understand, express and have their values as a reference, connect with their past and evolve with it towards the future. 🙌
I like what she said about being feminine and still feeling that power. Too often we associate strong women with masculine attributes.
What a beautiful story. I really appreciate her energy.
Your words are always so insightful, it as though your ancestors are speaking through you. The last part where you started to say, "There is no separation between Art and Life". Then you ended with, "where you land is exactly the place you need to go". This last part is a poem to me and it came at the right time. Thank you. I am grateful.
Your words, your hopes, your being, Thank you Rose.🙏🙏 (And that El Camino...👊)
I am delighted to see Rose Simpson again. Thank you for this. Interestingly, it was seeing her El Camino in the background of the first shot that reminded me that I already knew this person and their work. My thanks to the film makers for this subtle touch.
Inspiring, Rose. You've been blessed - in non-traditional ways, but blessed. Your insights through experiences are rare, unique and have propelled you to an understanding of the world/existence/transformation that few will ever get to. Carry on (and keep making great art!). Love the El Camino as well.
As a painter who got back into cars, it's great seeing the El Camino included by this artist and appreciated by the Art World!
Art is life. Profoundly exemplified by this strong female artist.
Incredible work 😮❤ super cool car. Everything has so much energy and power. Left me crying ❤❤
Beautiful 💙💙💙
what a beautiful episode! the ending is full of wisdom. gets me thinking
Profound history in the making 🙏
Good seeing you Rose...and your family. 😘 Beth of Aztec
Wonderful😊
Very interesting this art work
❤
Awesome!!
Appreciate her viewpoint and focus on indigenous artist. Wonder how she negotiates how her gas guzzling muscle car is accelerating the drying of the West and warming of the planet that her child will inherit.
Probably negotiates it fairly easily because it's not and you're being hysterical.
B-but the polar bears!
lmao
horrible kitsch
Bad manners.
? Explain further so we can understand your viewpoint please. Your vague utterance makes no 'real sense'. Maybe learn to communicate better? Unless ur some empty Yotube troll beast?!
