Stones of Folly by Catie Burrill: Coming April 4th, 2025
Catie Burrill is a Chicago-based fiber artist whose work celebrates divergent minds through salvaged materials. Inspired by her years of traveling across the U.S. on Greyhound buses, in nondescript cargo vans, and on a circus train. Her art explores outsider narratives, mad identity, and storytelling through stitchwork.
Stones of Folly draws from Hieronymus Bosch’s The Extraction of the Stone of Madness (also known as The Cure of Folly), which depicts a doctor removing a so-called “stone of folly” from a patient’s head. In this series of vibrant wall sculptures, Catie Burrill challenges the notion of madness as mere pathology, instead embracing its complexity, and reinterpreting societal perceptions of mental health with humor, theatrics, and camp. Inspired by pop culture figures like Dolly Parton and Britney Spears, Burrill uses found materials such as Lake Michigan pebbles, faux fur, 90s beads, and nostalgic trinkets to weave playful yet poignant narratives.
The NEW Gallery has been open since 2023 and been rotating artists monthly since then! With now over a year of shows, we’ve shown plenty of artists. Some of those artists’ previous works are available below.
