Painted to look like something between a dusty blackboard and a flickering black-and-white film. The compositions are layered: Racist cartoon characters from early animations appear as though they have been traced in chalk dust matched with a narrative text referencing one of the characters. There is bleary quality to these works which is a signature element of Simmons' practice, known as his "erasure" technique.
