Found Object - funnily enough, is an art term.

Objets trouvés, in French of course. Which I feel makes the phrase all the more elevated and elegant with a touch of sultry. Clearly, I’m longing to go back to Paris but thats a story for another time.

Found Object refers to things elevated by being chosen and placed. Marcel Duchamp was a pioneer for this, and an artistic movement transpired. Largely used by Dada, Surrealist and pop artists and continued to be used by modern artists - Damien Hirst and Sarah Lucas.

Duchamp chose an object not originally intended as art, then repurposed it for it’s aesthetic, surreal, or conceptual value. That’s exactly what I do in this series. I find the object, I choose it, and the choosing is the art. My art (or my choosing) is careful, considered and deeply personal.

So… Welcome to Found Objects debut! Now, its your time to make art and do the choosing. I’ve just made it that little bit easier to start.
