Rylie Paull is a Rhode Island based, interdisciplinary artist. Her works are exercises in patience and exalt both time-wrought and time-worn beauty. Composing the complex patterning so heavily featured in her pieces allows for much introspection, as such, her works are naturally imbued with the ideas circling her head at the time of creation. Those ideas usually relate to solitude, reflection, eternity, and systems (natural and technological).

Ink drawings are her current focus. These were born out of black and white ceramic sculptures. Which were born of her carved ceramic vessels. Which were inspired by a variety of sources: Japanese zen gardens, ancient spiral patterns, natural formations, architecture, optical illusions, Rorschach tests, and reflections & patterns in water.
