In architecture, a folly is an extravagant, useless, or fanciful building, or one that appears to be something other than what it is. In their book Follies, Grottoes & Garden Buildings, Headley & Meulenkamp define a folly as a “misunderstood building”. 

What began as a way to re-imagine the goings-on inside other people’s homes, usually architect-designed homes of the wealthy, has become an exploration of the supposedly stable boundary between the rationality of architectural form (and by extension, architectural photography) versus the irrationality of imagination and emotion. I am led by a sense of visual play. In this collage series, I combine my own images with found photographs of famous buildings taken from architecture books. I physically remove the structure from these found photographs and overlay the remaining scene on top of my own images, filling up the voids with other possibilities. I like to think of it as a renovation.
