Untitled from the series Girls and their Mothers

About this artwork

Kim Simpson’s series Girls and their Mothers celebrates families with a mixed ethnic background. Simpson photographed each mother and daughter separately and then together, linking the girls and their mothers while also conveying their individuality. The series was made in the photographer’s studio - the plain background focuses our attention on the close bond of the sitters. The conscious decision by the photographer not to use names in each of the titles encourages us to engage directly with the image.
