JOHN ROLOFF: SELECTED WORK

 

Selected/Recent Projects	Archive	Themes/Research/Studies	Shear Zones/Ceramics 50+ Years

For the past 50 years, my work has been fundamentally about ecology in an expanded frame.  My understanding of land, sea and atmosphere engages interrelated cycles of natural and man-made materials and processes.  This world view, originating in studies of the earth sciences, was developed through the practice of ceramics, installations and conceptual proposals that evolved ideas of site-alchemical material/historical transformations as a symbiotic merging of physical matter and living systems across geologic time - a condition of global metabolism.  My practice embraces an integration of ecology, geology, ontology, self-organizing systems, energy flow and aesthetics with expanded ceramics as protagonist, engaging narratives seeking to transcend the “living/non-living” dichotomy.
