BRIDGET SUE LAMBERT

Bridget has been showing her photographs in the DC area since 1994. She lives in a combined live/work space in the Logan Circle neighborhood of Washington, DC. This is where I met her on one of the coldest days in January.

Her prints include tiny plastic train set figurines which explore relationships. (check out how tiny they are, above!)

“They’ve always been a little bit about relationships—trying to make light of relationships. The titles I get from self help books. I don’t really read them myself, but they have really funny titles. The first one I was looking at my roommate’s brother wanted her to get married and sent her a book called Ten Steps To Finding The Man Of Your Dreams…This one (referring to the image with a woman in red) is “Make a Thorough Assessment”…I try to make the titles funny.”

Referring to interior shots of the dollhouse:
“These were for her solo show at Hilyer called “It’s Not You, It’s Me”(last year). It’s about the aftermath when someone leaves. These are from the dollhouse my grandfather made for me when I was a little girl. He made all the furniture too. I thought about using the dollhouse again. I hadn’t seen my dollhouse in ten years…so I decided to start taking pictures setting up the spaces where there were leaving clues that people existed in them but without the figurines”.

Bridget is currently finishing up some work for the Washington Project For the Arts (WPA) Annual Auction. She’s also going to be included in a group show curated by Laura Ammussen called “Ethnography of No Place” at the Rosenberg Gallery of Goucher College in Baltimore, MD this coming spring.
