Frances Lambe Frances Lambe Frances Lambe will be based at Bridge Street Studios until Nov 2009 when she moves to her own studio in Allardstown, Knockbridge. Lambe makes ceramic sculpture which is inspired by a convergence of contrasting sources. Her work springs from her interest in the sea and visual research into areas of interest including geography, biology, botany and astronomy. By exploring the counterpoint of opposites, Lambe seeks to engage the viewer in a visual dialogue and tactile investigation, through variations in form and texture. The sphere, the oval and undulating forms underpin Lambe’s visual language. The form of each piece is the prime focus. The constructed walls form a ‘taut membrane’ between the inner and exterior space. Holes punctuate the surface and link interior to exterior. “Lambe’s ceramic forms describe an underwater world. Their purity of form recalls stones that have been polished by the movement of water and sand. They describe relationships between land and sea: drumlins sculpted by the retreating ice, the sweep of eroded rock. Others reference the microscopic, the skeletal remains of tiny sea creatures.” – Eleanor Flegg Directions Take exit 16 off the M1 motorway.
