“Folly” is a three-dimensional rendering of traditional Toile de Jouy fabric or wallpaper. On close inspection, the elegant, Asian-inspired pavilions that comprise the landscape of “Folly” are populated (surprisingly) with kitschy figures from popular culture. As Katleman explains: “porcelain suggests luxury, refinement and royal provenance. While one flea market treasure seems a little sad, a florid profusion of them is cause for celebration.” The exuberance and refinement of “Folly” are astonishing to behold; ; it blurs the boundaries between art, design, craft and conceptual installations.
"Folly" has received recent coverage in the New York Times, DesignMilk, Trendhunter and other blogs.
