Note du spécialiste

“Her use and manipulation of miniaturized dolls, objects, and interiors gave the photographs the abstracted quality of a dream, which was markedly different from the cool, pseudo-documentary images of other artists.” (Carol Squiers, quoted in Kate Linker, Laurie Simmons: Walking, Talking, Lying, New York, 2005, p. 9)
