Based on the recent namesake exhibition at City Gallery Wellington, Michael Mahne Lamb's Through Points probes the boundaries of photography and sculpture. Working both with and against traditions of architectural, street, and conceptual photography, Lamb presents a body of analogue black-and-white prints, each enlarged to a point where the prints flex under their own weight and the film grain becomes highly pronounced. Presented with unique acrylic and aluminium supports, Lamb seeks to embody both physical and psychological experiences of the built environment.
Michael Mahne Lamb is a Te Whanganui-a-Tara based artist, and co-director of photobook publisher Bad News Books. He completed an MFA at the University of Hartford in Connecticut in 2022, and the exhibition includes selected earlier works developed during Lamb's studies.
