    Lambie transforms ordinary objects—vinyl tape, turntables, speakers, doors, mirrors, clothing, chairs—that he finds on the street or buys in secondhand and hardware stores into vibrant sculptures and site-specific installations. Lambie champions sensory pleasure over intellectual response, approaching his work with a simplicity and straightforwardness of form and material. "I'm not an information artist, I'm not like a schoolteacher, I'm just working with materials," says Lambie, who experiments with space and form in a way that breaks with traditional notions of elegance, deploying humble materials to create objects and installations that challenge the high-tech, high-brow aesthetics common to much of contemporary art and design.
