Arlo Mountford, The Folly 2009

The Folly 2009

Born out of a love for Bruegel’s paintings; the subject matter, the composition and the humour. The making of The Folly felt similar to building an architectural folly. Bruegel’s depictions of rural work coinciding with these ideas and the labor of animation.
