Artist Statement
As a potter, I make one of a kind functional objects that are meant to be used daily. The daily routine of life is often filled with beauty that is missed or passed over. I have made a study of making objects that fit ones hand and hopefully engage the users eye, head, and heart as well. My work celebrates the daily routine of eating, drinking, storing and pouring.
Beautiful objects have the power to trigger thoughts and emotions. Interesting and beautiful clay pots do this for me because they are made of mud, and mud leaves a trail and a record of the makers touch capturing his or her ideas at the moment of making. Pots additionally deal with containment. This containment relates to use, the body, volume, space and even containment of ideas as metaphor.
My work employs the physical process of layering which describes a sense of growth of the pot, both inward and outward. The addition and subtraction of the material leave a record of time in the work. Layering of wet clay over leather-hard clay is similar to the transformation of a landscape, such as an eroding riverbed. As a maker of one-of-a-kind functional objects, I use the premise that I transmit feeling through the subtle touch in working. I feel that in order for the user to “get it” they must also touch the work. My hope is that my pots will be used frequently in the daily routine by those who bring them into their homes.
“I continually play with shape and surface within parameters set by the intended purpose of the pot. These parameters open a world of exploration for me. My pieces are not metaphors for landscape and feeling alone, but rather they are the landscape and they embody the feeling.”
“My work reflects an ongoing search to unite my ideas with the generosity and the intimacy that the functional pot offers.”
Bio
S. C. Rolf lives and works as a studio potter in River Falls, WI, creating one-of-a- kind functional pots. His work reflects an ongoing search to unite his ideas with the generosity and the intimacy that the functional pot offers.
Current Making Style
The utilitarian pot continues to fascinate me. My current making style incorporates wheel thrown pots that are often altered. I have been using raked slip surfaces and inlays for many years, and I am continuing to develop these surfaces with the idea of glaze as a “veil” to interact with the clay surface.
