Tilly Troelstrup- Artist
Statement
What interrupts it? A line
carries on its course until its environment jars its path, forcing the line to
adjust if it wishes to continue. I layer line drawings on ceramic pots to
represent the adjustments and changes we all experience in our relationships to
people, places and things.
The ways that clay naturally
responds to manipulations creates an environment for my line drawings to
respond to. By embracing the handmade qualities of clay and its sensitivity at
varying stages, an unintentional dent early on becomes a valley for a line to
cross at a later stage. This open minded practice creates opportunities for my
most present emotions during making to present new ideas, based on the freedom
to express real time.
A strong interest in writing has
led to the discovery of wonderful correlations between the poetics of ceramics
and the romance of verbal expression, both highly capable of creating a
response unique to each user. Contemporary graffiti, spoken word,
disintegrating architecture and fleeting emotions during high stress all
influence a passionate affair with reflection, in order to best be present in
the moment.
By reflecting on my life’s
lessons in abstract patterns on pots, my forms have come to hold a geography of
the heart on their surface. Each pot tells a story of an experience whose
resulting lesson becomes the story. These experiences to be had are unique to
each person, and highly personal, but the larger lessons we learn come to be
much the same. It is my hope that viewers are drawn to the abstracted surface
and as they follow it around the pot, they reflect and inherently agree to
play. The quiet that consumes them as they follow the line is a rare serenity
my pots offer viewers, for but a moment, in our constantly rushing society.
