Rylander's practice examines the human meaning of ceramics through material manipulation and historical reflection. His works often incorporate unfired clay, porcelain, and mixed media to create installations that challenge traditional ceramic forms.
Key themes in his publications include material transformation (e.g., Resistance 2001, From lumps of materia 2014), everyday object reinterpretation (Street ware 2009), and conceptual explorations of presence and absence (Place to be lost 2018).
