Visiting Artists-in-Residence 

Recent McKnight Resident Artists

John Lambert, a 2007 McKnight Residency recipient, will be in residence at NCC from January through March.  Lambert received his B.F.A. from Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo and his M.F.A. from the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.  In addition to being a kiln builder and a replicator of Greek roof tiles, he is also an assistant professor of art for ceramics at Goshen College in Indiana.  His large-scale sculptures have been included in various exhibitions, both in and out-of-doors, in Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, and Ohio.

During his residency, Lambert hopes to create a modular building system of symbols that can be installed “in any given architectural situation.”  This exploration would be a continuation of his work with symbols and juxtaposition of symbols in 2D and 3D settings.  He employs the symbol “X” because of its projections into four cardinal directions, which he says “parallel [Carl] Jung's four functions and are symbolic of the human need for psychic orientation.”
