Hunt Gallery: Friday, 16 November 2007
CECILLE R. HUNT GALLERY
Mary Lamboley
November 16 – December 21, 2007
Opening Reception: Friday, November 16, 2007, 6 - 8pm
Using paper in a physical way, Lamboley’s paintings, drawings and sculptures play with the transference of images intended as a thematic overlapping, and an insight into how abstraction happens. With particular emphasis on the materiality of the medium, her work attempts to trace this process and to become a catalyst for new experiences, pinpointing a personal understanding and inquiry into the laws that govern, how things are supposed to be organized, and looking into history and its importance in everyday occurrences. In the work,
Lamboley possesses the power of suggestion, pairing ideas such as politics and religion; a statement on the separation of church and state is accomplished by combining text from the Bill of Rights with a stylistic layer of reference to an illuminated manuscript. This method allows Lamboley to create an uncertainty of and between two disparate movements, Lamboley comments: “it is the idea we hold in front of the world that is, I believe, where the binary
oppositions, contradiction, confusion and conflict arises.” She is also driven by the belief in the power of art as an expression and reflection of life, viewing art as “a way of being, a science, a practice for self-transformation and social change, and a life choice” and using the role of art as an implement and a motive for constant discovery. These elements have become the principal foundation for her creative process by consistently questioning the limits to allow for a possibility of aligning with what she calls “a more sustainable underlying order.”
