Detailed description
Sculpture "Wind sign I" (2023)
"Wind Signs" is the name of a series of works created from 2004 onwards. Wire wrapped in corrugated paper represents the natural process of how strong winds shape the landscape, such as sand dunes on the seashore or in the desert. A second series of the same name (2005) consists of sail-like forms. How the individual color fields constructively relate to each other is also determined here by chance (just as drifts in nature itself produce random arrangements).
About Janina Lamberty
"Cascadas" and "Cañas"
In her series of works "Cascadas" Janina Lamberty deals with a transformation of waterfall motifs.
A first work step produces rhythmic undulations. The quality of the paper used is crucial in this process. Subsequently, paper found objects are collaged in. The rhythm of the color values suggests how a waterfall accelerates as it falls: In these waterfall motifs, the intention of wanting to depict time sequences and movement in the picture leads to a vertical sequence of "color paths."
The "cañas", wrapped in Japanese paper, are made of straw sticks. The artist lets these sticks fall according to the Mikado principle, then fixes the randomly created result with glue. In this way, swirls, eddies and bundle-like forms are created, which sometimes remind one of
reminiscent of sheaves of grain. These shapes can be described as artistic transformations of physical forces that are
of physical forces that act in the same way in nature. In terms of presentation aesthetics, the "Cañas" are staged in exhibition situations as reliefs or wall objects.
One variant consists of Plexiglas columns in the room, with rods inside, which are placed together by sewing. ©Jürgen Raap, art critic
