Fokken gravitated towards using found objects at an early age out of necessity. As a fairly poor kid he would rescue other kids’ discarded plastic model airplanes, cars and ships from the trash to rework them. This realizing of the potential of a found object separate from its original has naturally led him to creating sculptures with what he calls my make do aesthetic. “Making do” is something people all over the world employ using what they have and re-purposing material to fit their needs.
Kyle Fokken has exhibited widely with public sculptures located around the United States including three public art pieces in the St. Paul Union Depot and working on a "gateway" sculpture and bench for 29th Street in South Minneapolis!
