    • "Matt Conklin's vivid, idiosyncratic train layouts bear some semblance to English garden follies and various other folk art environments which incorporate inspired, albeit eccentric materials and structures into what may be regarded as rigorous, traditional tableaux (gardens and yard spaces). While garden follies and folk art environments are mostly outdoors, they are helpful in providing a glimpse of the uncharted path that Matt has chosen to create his indoor train layouts.

      Matt’s layouts are ever-changing, he systematically updates his layouts using deliriously painted household objects, soda bottles, scavenged toys, cardboard boxes, bowling pins, etc. to create the buildings, bridges, and other structures which link his creations to more typical models. "
