'Grew Feathers' 2016 is a black and white collage by Lorna Simpson made using material gathered from Ebony – a monthly culture and lifestyle magazine dedicated to African American experience. Through a process of fragmenting and layering, Simpson highlights the complexity of the narrative she represents, what she terms ‘the cracks and the seams where things are put together or re-constructed’. The subject's hair is layered with small collaged pieces that give the appearance of feathers, hence the work’s title. The face is represented by a single collaged eye which looks out towards the viewer.
​
​Photography and found imagery have long played an integral role in Simpson’s practice. Speaking about her sources, the artist has said: 'I can trace my original interest in found images to a discovery I made of these old Ebony magazines belonging to my grandmother. I found them really satisfying to look at, because they’re so contextual – from a particular time and for a particular audience. From there, I started collecting tons of Ebony and Jet magazines and other similarly themed printed matter, ranging from the late 1930s through till the late 70s. For me, the images hearken back to my childhood, but are also a lens through which to see the past fifty years in American history.'
