Bridget Sue Lambert

Bridget Sue Lambert is a digital print and multimedia artist interested in investigating the near-universal experience we all share in the game of love and interpersonal relationships. By referencing loss, emptiness, and the after-effects of moving on; she draws on memories and images from both childhood and adulthood and distills personal experiences to engage in a contemporary discourse. Using tiny scale figures from train sets, backdrops of blurry photos taken at personally significant locations, and a 30-year-old dollhouse built by her grandfather; Lambert stages and photographs vignettes of domesticity, tension, loss, and presence-versus-absence. She explores the physical and psychological spaces that we inhabit in relationships, and how these spaces are disrupted or abandoned when a relationship begins, lives and comes to an end. Lambert’s ironic titles coincide with these vague situations, often making light of an uncomfortable incident.
