NY MONOPOLY ⏤
Simmons’ use of classic board games is an ode to city-bred childhood. The characters and objectives of her work are transformed versions of the standard. Embracing Hasbro’s skill for marketing games perfectly to children, Simmons emulates this paradigm, but with corrupted convictions riddled through imagery and text.
