Frances Lambe Microcosmos
Frances Lambe
“Microcosmos”
March 3rd. – April 9th.
Lambe’s work springs from visual research into disparate areas of interest including geography, biology, marine biology, botany and astronomy. This research is informed by my involvement in scuba diving. She is interested the visual ‘inter-relatedness’ of life on our planet. Life forms that exist underwater mimic those on land. Her work contains the counterpoint of opposites;
+ smooth / textured,
+ minimal / intricate,
+ single / multiple,
+ convex / concave,
+ still / moving,
+ microscopic / vast,
+ surface / interior,
+ vertical / horizontal.
Observed effects of weathering on surfaces influences the form and texture of the work.
The sphere, the oval and undulating forms underpin her visual language. The form of each piece is of prime focus. The constructed walls form a taut ‘membrane’ between the inner and exterior space. Holes punctuate the surface and link exterior to interior.
Her abstract sculptural work seeks to explore concepts of stillness, structure, balance and implied movement. On a deeper level her work reflects on our perception of time as it is defined by the movement of the earth, sun, moon the tides and erosion.
