The Art of Lambert House

She has been interning at Lambert House, and her Master's Project has come out of the work she's done with gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning youth there, ages 14-22. Lambert House empowers youth through the development of leadership, social and life skills; the powerful stories told through their art has been graciously shared on the walls of the second floor atrium / hallway.

Of the series Rachel writes "These images began as photographs of the dirty, worn, and warped fabric of New York City—such as grime on subway wall tiles and blistered pavement in a crosswalk—and were developed under the mentorship of Elaine Breiger at School of Visual Arts in New York, NY.

I was introduced to printmaking as a teenager at the Women’s Studio Workshop in Rosendale, NY and have continued to print under the guidance of the faculty and staff of the following Printmaking programs/studios: Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, School of Visual Arts in New York, NY and Pratt Fine Art Center in Seattle, WA."

Of the piece Patrick writes "Lately, my preferred canvases are secondhand, makeshift objects such as discarded cabinet doors. I was helping my roommate clean out his garage and he said to give this Carrom board to Goodwill. Instead, I decided it had a nice "framely" shape to it, and it became the beginning of my next art project."

 

Reminder: the student lounge area is available for students to exhibit their class projects and senior or master's thesis projects.
