Biography

Folland was born in Adelaide in 1967 and received a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Honours) from the South Australian School of Art, University of South Australia.[4] He received a Masters of Visual Arts from the Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney in 2009.[5] In 1999, he was awarded the Anne and Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarship which enabled him to join the research program work at the Piet Zwart Institute and the Public Art Observatory in Barcelona.[4]

Artistic style and subject

Folland uses found objects such as knives, trophies, furniture, crystalware and taxidermied animals to create sculpture and mixed media artworks. An example of his work in the Museum of Contemporary Art (Australia), The door was open… (2006), features a chandelier with a refrigerator coil that creates a sphere of ice in the centre of the chandelier.[6]
