Dave Keane

Originally from Cork, Ireland, Dave moved to San Francisco in 1999. That summer he attended his first Burning Man and the idea of The Folly was born. Dave spent the next 18 years honing his carpentry skills and volunteering as a lead carpenter on major projects at Black Rock City. In August 2019 he finally brought his vision to life raising The Folly village in the middle of the dead lake. After spending the pandemic working on various commissioned projects, Dave is ready to go back to the desert with his new large-scale installation - Paradisium.
