Laurie Lambrecht's observations of her natural surroundings--both close to home and around the world--come to form through both eye and hand in her lens- and fiber-based works. In her recent series Bark/Cloth, for example, images of tree bark are printed on linen that is then embroidered with colored thread. Each work is unique, its patterns and textures heightened by the combination of materials and Lambrecht's detailed handwork first put to use during her time as a sweater designer. The finished objects, which can look like topographical maps or aerial views of Earth's varied terrain, become quiet meditations on time, the shifting scales of nature, and the ways in which humans interact with, render, and alter the natural world. Texere, the title of this first monograph to focus on Lambrecht's interdisciplinary practice, is Latin for "to weave or intertwine" and is the etymological root of "texture," "textile," and "text"--three elements at the core of this lyrical and immersive volume.

Laurie Lambrecht, a native of Bridgehampton, is a visual artist working in photography and fiber. Her work is an observation of the natural world, merging eye and hand in her lens and fiber-based work. Her first career as a sweater designer heightened her awareness of the tactile qualities and nuances of pattern and color found in nature. Her work especially celebrates trees: their form, subtlety, and enduring presence. Lambrecht's photographs are in the collection of museums including the National Gallery of Art, The Center for Creative Photography and the Parrish Art Museum. She has had numerous solo exhibitions in the US and abroad. Lambrecht has been a participant at artist residencies including: The American Academy in Rome; The Watermill Center; the Rauschenberg Residency; and KH Messen in Norway. In 2019, she presented her first outdoor site-specific installation of weavings and photographs at the Madoo Garden Conservancy as a Road Show artist with the Parrish Art Museum. Since then, she has created installations at the Watermill Center, Sylvester Manor, and the Leiber Collection Garden, among others. Her installation Into the Woods at the Nassau County Museum of Art was funded by a 2023 Project Grant from NYSCA. The National Gallery of Art, The Morgan Library, and The Art Institute of Chicago are among the venues where Lambrecht has given talks about her work. She has taught bookmaking and weaving workshops at art museums and art centers. Through the organization New Hour she has taught weaving to incarcerated women. In 2013 she taught students in Medellin, Colombia in the program Literacy through Photography. In the early 1990s, Lambrecht worked as administrative assistant to Roy Lichtenstein simultaneously photographing the artist and his process. Roy Lichtenstein in His Studio, the monograph of her project, was published by Monacelli Press in 2011. She has worked with theater artist Robert Wilson at the Watermill Center intermittently since 1993. From 2012--2014, Lambrecht photographed a documentary project for the Rauschenberg Foundation in Captiva, Florida.
