About

Found object art is an artistic practice where artists use everyday objects, often discarded or repurposed, to create new works of art. This approach challenges traditional notions of art by elevating mundane items into the realm of artistic expression, often incorporating elements of assemblage and collage to form complex, layered compositions.

Observations

The style presents dense assemblages of antique mechanical parts, tools, clocks, locks, chains, and curiosities arranged in framed shadow-box displays. Subdued earthy colors, worn patinas, dimensional objects, and highly packed decorative surfaces give the images a tactile, archival quality with a retro industrial character.
