STUDIO FUNGI

$50.00

Within the layered ecology of Jason Rohlf’s studio, the Studio Fungi emerge as a tactile, organic counterpoint to his paintings. Hand-formed from clay, these small sculptural objects are direct accretions of studio time—their shapes are intuitive, their surfaces bearing the fingerprints of their making.

Like his paintings, they are artifacts of process. They grow from the same immersive space where paint is mixed, rags are saved, and visual decisions accumulate. The fungi are not studies, but fellow travelers: quiet, biomorphic forms that root the studio’s abstract explorations back to the physical, the handheld, and the quietly persistent act of creating form from formless material.

A Basket of Six Assorted Clay Studio Fungi

These hand-formed clay fungi are quiet, persistent accretions of studio time. Each is a small, intuitive sculpture—a tactile thought made solid. Gathered together, they become a little ecosystem of process, a colony of forms that grew not from the forest floor, but from the layered, paint-splattered environment of the studio itself.

Their shapes are organic and unrepeated; some stand upright, others curl or cluster. The clay holds the memory of being pressed and pinched, its surface a subtle record of touch. Think of them as quiet companions to the paintings—not preparatory studies, but fellow travelers in the ongoing effort to collect and preserve a visual sensibility, one humble, tangible object at a time.

Playful, grounded, and uniquely of the studio, this assortment is a small harvest from the creative substrate.
