The focus of Mary Fischer's work is architecture. The buildings started as boxes. Lids became roofs, feet and chimneys appeared and things go on from there, changing from season to season. She builds pieces from slabs and extruded pieces of clay, at times combining both techniques. When working with slabs of clay, she frequently makes paper patterns to work out design problems. The model is then taken apart and used to cut out pieces from clay slabs. Extruded pieces of clay are cut apart and reassembled, with small slabs used to close the ends. This process is akin to playing with legos. The more pieces there are to play with, the more ideas there are to explore. Sometimes, finished pieces consist of separate parts that can be arranged in different ways, as whims dictate.
