“We’ve spent a good deal of time extensively exploring our neighborhood of Over-the-Rhine, photographing practically every bit of ornament found on the 19th century architecture. Like a kit of parts, many of these ornaments were configured in different ways on different facades and, when examined closely, a rhythm of patterns starts to become evident when walking down the street.”

About:

Folk Object is an ongoing collection of graphic objects derived from the ornament & utility of folk culture. It's curated by Clifton Burt.

"The folk object stands outside both time and space. It signifies historicity and otherness...
The objects are less objects of ownership than of symbolic intercession, like ancestors. The marginal object stands outside the myth of progress embodied in modernity."
-Jean Baudrillard

"They're rad."
-Clifton Burt
