Mary Jane Lundy
Mary Jane’s ceramic studio practice consists of hand built ceramic fish wall hangings, tiles, sculptured fish houses, over-sized and small sculptured birds, nests and large table top water fountains. Mary Jane‟s ceramics are inspired by the designs of 15th century French ceramist, Bernard Palissy. Palissy used living things such as frogs, lizards, fish, plant life, and shells in creating plaster castings for clay press molds. Like Palissy, who cast only species from his surrounding area, she has limited her subjects to what inhabits on our land, our sky and our ocean here in Nova Scotia. The clay materials she uses to create these works is low fired red Lantz NS earthenware clay and colourful under glazes with translucent colored over glazes along with some textured glazes. Her work can be placed either in the home or garden.
