Press Release Auburn: Community Center Gallery Weston Lambert Contact: Allison Hyde, Arts Program Supervisor 253-931-5100 arts@auburnwa.gov<mailto:arts@auburnwa.gov> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 5th, 2025 ___________ The City of Auburn and the Auburn Arts Commission are pleased to present the work of Weston Lambert at the Community Center Gallery, on view September 4th - November 6th, 2025. Weston Lambert's artwork is about "dualities and the balancing of contrasting forces--a place where transparency/opacity, rigidity/pliability, and ephemeral/eternal coexist, each taking part in creating equilibrium. This dynamic relationship transmutes fragility into an asset and hardness into a potential liability. In the studio, I accelerate the slow violence inherent in geological processes. Through the intense heat of the kiln and days of grinding/polishing, molten glass nestles into the stone's curves, while mechanical carving simulates eons of erosion. The materials in my sculptures are engaged in a condensed passage of time-modified by my brief tenure, on a timeline charted by millennia, not decades. In my [inane] pursuit of permanence, I create invulnerable, seamless objects that have been broken and mended outside of geological time."
