These works are reconstructions and recontextualisations of black femininity that evoke the visual play of surrealism. They generally feature images of black women cut out from magazines and advertisements (Ebony and Jet), arranged in Simpson's own material vocabulary of watercolour, ink and materials gathered from a variety of sources. Natural elements such as ice, water and fire permeate her collages in the form of seductive black women in a spray of flames or with hair made of crystals.
