Reflections of the world in clay

South-African born and Australian-based Jane duRand uses her art practice to document and better understand the world around her. Originally trained as an architect, she primarily creates large scale ceramic and mosaic installations to feature within the architecture of civic and private buildings around the world. Made by hand in her Brisbane studio before being shipped overseas and assembled on site, the installations reflect the environment in which they are situated, with each mural densely populated with iconography unique to the area.

The piece chosen for Homo Faber 2026 is titled Noise: lyrebirds and cicadas. It features the uniquely Australian Superb Lyrebird surrounded by rainforest ferns in a ceramic and mosaic sculptural vessel created in porcelain, raku clay and mahogany clay. The scene reflects the setting where Jane has discovered the bird while out walking in the summertime, while cicadas are noisy in the background. While often heard, the lyrebird is very difficult to spot in the forest.
