Lambrecht is interested in the poetic, human stories that are found in religious traditions and texts. Lambrecht extracts meaning from religious sources but chooses to discard the conventional, doctrinal associations. The shape of the cross sometimes these crosses are written into the work as the letter ‘t’, at other times they are physically attached in the form of copper strips which pierce the canvas. This variation alludes to the way in which Lambrecht attempts to occupy and explore a middle ground between the religious and the secular.
