Statement I invite you to enter Folly, a tiny refuge that offers shelters from the world out there. But then discover that out there comes right into the shelter with you, because this house is made using the natural materials that envelope and connect us with the earth. We become a bird or squirrel entering the nest, perhaps even a forest spirit as well. My work honors the cycle of birth, death, decay and renewal. Folly is meant to return to the earth with the cycles of just a few seasons, in contrast to the stone mausoleums with their hopes for immortality. Despite modern caskets and ancient pyramids, embalming and mummification, we are all destined to return to the earth.
