Project John Roloff

Project: Land Kilns, is a treatise on realized and proposed environmental kilns from 1979 to 1992. Project documentation, formative, conceptual and generative studies, site research, as well as essays, exhibitions, installations and selected work inspired by the kiln projects form the essence of this document. The kiln or furnace as an alchemical instrument in and of the landscape, exploring salient and poetic questions/themes related to ceramics, geology, global metabolism, systemic thought/material practice and environmental art, is a basic premise of the work presented.
