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.

Artist’s Statement:
My influences include all of the spectacles of modern times including the circus, the rodeo, county fairs, Mardi Gras / Carnival, rock and roll, casinos, and other assorted roadside attractions which exude a gaudy specialness. My work is an attempt to combine these influences with an archaeological interest in cave paintings, Greek story pots, and ancient stelae to create objects for the modern stone age family.
Here is short bio:
After a series of unfortunate delivery room high-jinks (sic), Mr. Reynolds found himself being raised by a ruthless pack of cruelly discarded professional sports team mascots who sometimes shot him from a canon for their own amusement. As a child, he was forced to dig up un-civil war relics from an ancient battle site to trade with members of the intergalactic jet set that frequently made visits to the abandoned rail yard where he lived. At night, while the elders of his pack were off performing the rare and sacred mascot family dance, he would secretly refine his skills in “the craft that dare not speak it’s name” to pass the solitary hours. As soon as he was old enough to cross the tracks by himself, he discovered an entire underground network of others engaged in the creation of something out of nothing. Mr. Reynolds then joined this troupe of merry pranksters on their non-stop tour of the finest shopping malls around the world. He continues to marvel at the never-ending cleverness of those that make and of those that make do. If you spot him these days, and are confident that you remember the secret handshake, feel free to approach him and ask for the cosmetic secrets of your favorite pop stars. He’ll know!
