Claire Lambe’s process-oriented practice is a sophisticated synthesis of cultural material and autobiographical narrative. Her work, spanning sculpture, sound, film, and installation, operates at the intersection of her personal history and a rigorous engagement with the canons of art history, contemporary art, cinema and music. In her presentation, these influences merge into a singular, cohesive aesthetic language, immersing the viewer in image, sound and object, as a proposition to question whether art can offer a meaningful reflection upon existence.
For her solo exhibition at the Warrnambool Art Gallery, Lambe presents a newly commissioned work that weaves together architectural, art historical and personal references, constructing a space designed for subconscious association. This approach challenges the traditional dichotomy between the domestic and the professional. By navigating the transition of the private into the public sphere, Lambe demonstrates that “art-making isn’t separate from living; at best, it’s where your environment is exposed, and where the daily dynamics of intimate relationships stop being private.”
