The scene at Peter Lane’s Scholes Street studio in Brooklyn looks like a mother’s nightmare – a group of boys on their hands and knees, pants and sleeves stained brown, a massive pile of mud.  But these aren’t boys and this is not mud.  They are Lane’s team of ceramicists and this is clay.  The group is working on a huge architectural installation for a client.  This New York based ceramic artist works on an unprecedented scale, creating architectural features for private and commercial spaces, along with furniture and decorative work.  His fidelity to the nature of clay guides the process and the finished work, as he manipulates the material through a journey that magnifies its most essential elements in the final product.
