Nicholas Folland

Nicholas Folland’s realm poses speculations for ratbag scientists, fringe dwellers, explorers and dreamers. – Alexie Glass 2008

Nicholas Folland transforms the everyday, the overlooked and the no longer fashionable.  Using domestic crystalware, repurposed taxidermy, ice and other wonders, he makes material metaphors that speak to our history and identity. – Lisa Slade, The Extreme Climate of Nicholas Folland, Art Gallery of South Australia, July 2014 – January 2015
