The Apartment | 2024

Tracey Lamb

I have a BFA (Hons) from the VCA and an MFA from Monash University. My sculptural practice has developed over the past 18 years; however, I have practised art for many decades. I have exhibited in over 150 exhibitions, and undertaken artist talks, teaching, open studios and several residencies and commissions.

I work from my home studio, primarily fabricating with steel as a self-taught welder. My sculptures are inspired by the architecture of the home. Positive and negative space have equal importance, with layered planes of abstract geometries used to create a captivating and dynamic viewing experience.
