344: Lindsay Montgomery on the subversive nature of her Maiolica ceramics

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with Lindsay Montgomery. Her Italian inspired maiolica
ceramics function as narrative paintings highlighting the social
ills of our time including topics of environmental degradation,
the patriarchy, and wealth inequality. Drawing from ceramics and
paintings of the early Renaissance she often uses demonic figures
and hellscapes to create a sense of impending doom. In our
interview we talk about her love of the dark side of the
Renaissance imagery, understanding the power dynamic of
historical influences, and the role Walter Ostrom played in
shaping her path in the arts. To see examples of her work visit
