LAURIE LAMBRECHT

Born and raised in Bridgehampton, NY Laurie Lambrecht maintains her studio practice in her hometown where the coastal landscape and woodlands continue to inspire her creativity. 

Lambrecht’s art weaves together two worlds of expression: her fiber work (weaving, knitting and embroidery) and photography.  Uniquely uniting the tactile with the visual in the series “Bark/Cloth”, detailed photographs of tree bark are printed on supple linen fabric and then hand embroidered. 

The group of Woolly Rocks presented at Onna House invited touch.  Colorful fuzzy knitted covers playfully challenged one’s expected qualities of weight and solidness.

Laurie Lambrecht has earned critical recognition for her photographs of visual and performing artists and their creative environments, as well as landscapes of public and private spaces from ranging from Beijing to Rome.  Her widely exhibited series on the artist Roy Lichtenstein was published in a monograph by The Monacelli Press in 2011. Her work is represented in numerous museums, corporate and private collections including the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, the Parrish Art Museum, Southampton, NY, the Portland Art Museum, Portland, OR, the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson, AZ and the Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH.

A participant of prestigious artists’ residencies in Europe and the U.S., Lambrecht travels often to seek inspiration from foreign landscapes and textile cultures.
