At LIRR Bellmore station,Dan Funderburgh’s “SHOAL”
celebrates the journey between domestic and away throughout Long Island, capturing
the flow of people and their history. Ocean waves cover three walls of the
station house, and featuring ocean buoys and Lenape pottery shards and beads and
reference to North Atlantic sea life in Delft pottery style. In addition to
original patterns inspired by traditional ceramics,certain tiles also feature
local icons such as the historic Bellmore station, Jones Beach water tower, or
the nearby marinas. In addition to the mosaic ocean waves,Miotto Mosaic Art
Studio fabricated Funderburgh’s elaborate design emulating hand painted glaze
by digitally printing on ceramic tile and waterjet cutting the forms of native
fish and crustaceans. These techniques are a marriage of traditional aesthetics
and craft with contemporary technology and materials.
