In
<i>Parchemins</i> (2017) a paper-thin tabletop, its stretched surface evoking the texture of hospital bandages, clings
at its corners to lean supports like crutches propping it up. An impression of frail precariousness misleads us, however,
since the object in question is rugged cast bronze. It is the first sign of a quiet conceptual play in Rosy Lamb’s work,
which, on the surface of things, can seem almost exclusively about the process of making beautiful objects.
</p>

<p>
Process, after all, is what strikes you initially in every detail and richly layered surface of the functional sculptures
of
<i>More Material
</i>. Take
<i>Oceans of Notions</i>, for example. The irregular design of its floating panels draws your eye back and forth over its
meandering rivulets, providing unity for what in reality is 12 different, unique relief sculptures of various heights.
Although these designs are trapped in bronze permanently, they convey the restless energy of swirling eddies in water.
The 22 side panels each have a unique pattern of rapidly painterly rounded forms that read as the positive of the negative
trenches above. All of Lamb’s work manages to retain the freshness and spontaneity of its method of creation, which
belies the extreme, labor intensive aspects of its making. These side panels, for example, were made by brushing and
building directly with hot wax, while the surface panels were hand-tinted with pure pigment, and then covered with wax
and patina to protect it from oxidizing.

</div>
<p>
Lamb brought the patience of a painter and the technical prowess of a figural sculptor to
<i>More Material</i>. Its objects channel her long years of experimentation working back and forth between media in her
studio: painting as a sculptor, and sculpting as a painter. [When I wrote a book about Matisse’s sculpture, Lamb was
the most knowledgeable source of information about casting processes. She is thoroughly entrenched in craft and workmanship].
Her recent adoption of painting in hot wax allowed her to make the surfaces of her bronze sculptures even more expressive;
this breakthrough lies at the origin of the processes used for
<i>More Material</i>.
</p>
<p>
One constant in the series is that that all of the objects are fundamentally rooted to physical realities, as Lamb tirelessly
explored how materials react and respond to various processes. Over the last two years, the foundry in Auvergne was
her laboratory. She collaborated with other craftspeople in the ateliers, pushing them to overturn traditional foundry
techniques with new experiments and ideas. She made extensive patina and color tests on the motifs found in this collection.
Her research into materials is almost obsessional, but it’s where her rich imagination finds a place to play.
</p>
<div class="wide-image">
<img src="/smaller/oceans-of-notions/oceans4.jpg" />
<p class="caption">Oceans of Notions (surface detail), pigmented paint and cold patina on bronze, 2017</p>
</div>
<p>
Both the technical, and demandingly physical aspects of sculpture and furniture making are decidedly macho. The imposing
pieces in More Material convey some of this bravado; they will not politely decorate a room so much as command it.
<i>Oceans of Notions</i>, in particular, with its delightfully irregular hand-made units seems like an idiosyncratic take
on the grid format sculptures of the famously tough, laconic American minimalist Carl André. Working in the foundry,
after all, has mostly been the work of red-blooded male artists. But the pieces themselves designed for the home are
also fundamentally about the less visible work of women. Who normally sets out the aperitifs on a coffee table, or wipes
up its spills (Lamb specifically thought of making that an easily washable surface)? Who will put the dishes away into
the cabinet of
<i>The Plate Throwers</i> after the guests have gone? The
<i>Plate Throwers
</i>, in particular, reveals a gender game at play in other pieces in the series. Behind its shiny gilded doors, a darker
domestic battle of the sexes is revealed. An agile female figure is on the verge of launching a plate at her male counterpart,
who marches unawares, a pile of plates dutifully poised on his head. Even in the best- run homes, after all, total chaos
is just minutes away.

</p>
</div>
<p>
In
<i>Les Lumières</i>, four other male nudes, traditionally a subject for masculine heroism, are humbled and domesticated,
given the household job of providing light. In this series, Lamb’s combines her gift for breathing life into her nudes
with her inventive wit. The legs and torsos of four expressive figures are joined to light-filtering abstract sculptures,
so that their individual identities are erased. One head is pulverized into the web of abstract matter emerging from
his torso. The title
<i>Les Lumières</i> (
<i>The Luminaries
</i> in English) seems straightforward enough; they are, after all, functional light units in the tradition of figural
torchieres. But the word also evokes luminary: a person of prominence, or master in their respective field. As in “Dr.
Robertson is a luminary in the medical profession, and so the surgical procedure is named after him.” It’s a word, of
course, more frequently used to describe men.

<p class="caption">Les Lumières (in situ), table lamps, vapor patinated bronze, 2017</p>
</div>
<p>
In the history of art, commemorative figural sculpture has been overwhelming devoted to male achievements. This is a tradition
Lamb knows well, having worked on public monuments for two years when she first came to Paris. Her modest series of
Les Lumieres, hommages recalls the grandiose tradition of les hommes illustres (Famous Men), like the 86 standing sculptures
decorating the first floor balustrade of the Louvre’s Cour Napoléon. They look down at the modern glass pyramid, while
very few visitors look up at them. Canonized in the 19th-century by Hector-Martin Lefuel, the architect who ordered
them, many of these men are now forgotten (Etienne Duperac? Jean Bullant?). Certainly, they were luminaries for their
age. How much more appreciated would they be now if they too could radiate light?

<p style="margin-top:0px">
As a painter and sculptor, I seek forms that are open and closed, ordered and disordered in equal measure and in which opulent
workmanship competes with untouched raw materials to reveal the push and pull between the public and private, the epic
and the transient. I often work with sculpted plaster that looks as if it has naturally aged and crumbled over time.
It is more difficult to evoke this aesthetic with traditional bronze sculptures, but recently, I developed a technique
of painting in hot wax that allows me to make expressive and delicate bronze surfaces that balance the strength of metal
with the visual fragility of painted brush strokes.

These unique surfaces and motifs are the foundation for my new series of functional sculptures, called More Material, on
which I have been working for the the past two years at La Fonderie Fusions in Auvergne, France.
</p>
<p>
To make More Material, the foundry has been my studio and my laboratory. David de Gourcuff, the owner of the foundry, invested
in my work, put me up in his home, and gave me unprecedented access and free rein to work and play in the midst of his
busy foundry. Making these pieces involved collaborations with every atelier of the foundry, and every worker there
helped me at some critical juncture or other. This collection would not have been possible otherwise.

<!--<h3>Bio</h3>-->
<p>
I was born to a family of artists living in the woods of New Hampshire. My siblings and I were homeschooled, that is, we
were mostly left to pursue our own projects. At seventeen, I went to the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts where
I formally studied painting and sculpture. I then moved to Paris, where I assisted the sculptor Jean Cardot on his public
monuments for two years, before moving to my own studio to work on painting, sculpture, and now, furniture.
</p>

<p class="caption">
<i>Francis and Alex, plaster and bronze, 1998.</i>
<br/> I made these two sculptures of two artist friends who modeled for me in my home studio in Philadelphia, where, even
as an art school student, I spent most of my time.

<h3>Intimate Portraits</h3>
<p>
Since childhood, retreating into my private world has been the generative stance in which it is possible for me to make things.
Alone in my studio, the vulnerability that comes with openness can be a cultivated strength, and the space that the
dust takes up in between the things in the room is as much part of what I can see and feel and use as inspiration as
the things, sculptures, and living models that surround me.
</p>
<p>
To me, the model is not just a means to making a painting or sculpture but a walking, breathing conduit for the unknown.
The images I make with models are fractured embroideries of time; they mix observed moments with a more inward form
of seeing and feeling.
</p>

<p class="caption">
<i>Jasmine in the Braemare house, oil on plaster, 2008</i>
<br/> My sister Jasmine was my model for many paintings between 2006-2008. During these years she was having health problems
and modeling was the only job she felt up to. Her quiet inward state inscribed itself into the images I made of her
during those years.

exhibition, National Portrait Gallery, London in 2012
</p>
</div>
<h3>Plaster + Hybrids</h3>
<p>
Over time I increasingly turned toward making paintings on plaster in which I experimented with admixing sculptural elements
and shadow into the pieces. In some instances my hybrid plaster paintings look no different from paintings on other
supports, except for their slightly irregular shapes or the texture on their cast plaster surfaces. In other works,
using plaster supports allows me to integrate high and low relief into my painting by breaking, sculpting, scratching
away and incising portions of the surface image.

Hanna was my assistant, student, and model from 2008 to 2010.

The sculptures lying around my studio grew to be an ungainly population of mismatched heads and bodies which often appear in the background of my paintings.

<h3>Hot Wax and
<i>More Material</i>
</h3>
<p>
In 2014 I developed a technique of painting in hot wax in order to make expressive metal surfaces while making a small series
of new sculptures. My sculpture
<i>Armour</i> is an example of this new direct wax technique.

<p>
At the beginning of 2016 I began developing these new techniques into a series of unique furniture pieces and painterly architectural
motifs in bronze that embody my lifelong interest in making art that reflects on the private experience of home and
family life. I am calling this new series of domestic sculptures More Material as these are works in which the material
weight and bulk compete with their visual and conceptual presence.
