I'm probably going to paint the body a different color or do something to break up the yellow so it doesn't seem so massive.

FOUND ITEM: those wonderous items found on the streets of san francisco....adda's fav to photograph

Molly Hewitt's installation of sculptures and found objects on the Ray Yoshida shelves at the Roger Brown Study Collection.

Weathered Plastic Frags

So Won Lee, found object installation, 2011.

This was lying in a pile of leaves near the sidewalk.

This mask is very difficult to photograph. It is hard to capture the correct mood. Definitely looks more dignified in person :-p

 

But it came to me after watching a fascinating history special about what the 'real' Helen of Troy might have been like. As a powerful Bronze Age queen, she would have been quite different from the romanticized views of later imaginations :-)

Another coffe cup from the cafe in Oregon where the people were really rude to me.

This sweet little diver measures approximately 6" x 1 1/2". Each piece is handmade from recycled, repurposed objects.

 

Each little person comes with a copy of their own story, which helps bring their character to life.

This one's story is:

 

Nothing quite compares to the experience of diving down, down, down so deep. You hear your heart beating, the water encloses you in its embrace, and you become weightless. You push yourself through the water, to the depths, to explore this world of which you are not a part. You are an intruder here, but your greatest desire would be to become a part of it, to swim with the creatures that live here, to be a part of this vast expanse. Your chest begins to burn, reminding you that this cannot be, and slowly you ascend. You gaze down one last time before you break through the surface and gasp for air. “One day”, you say to yourself, “one day I will be a part of you.”

 

It is $45 and comes with a handcrafted copy of the story.

A slide that I found on the street in NYC

Ellen said, "Look, someone's left a car over there."

Colin said, "Take a picture of it."

I did what I was told.

 

Clifton Downs, Bristol, yesterday. The bashes and scratches show up well at the large size.

"Historic Downtown" sign

I decided to keep the end pages a light colour on the inside so as to allow the clearest view through the acetate layers. My story is printed on the first page, and my name and details on the last. The 'Lost & Found' box is created with layers of around 30 found objects, similar to the way they accumulated in my candy jar. One or two at a time, falling in different spots inside the jar. The objects towards the bottom are obscured, so the viewer needs to turn the layer over to reveal each item clearly.

Wine bottle was here.

Found object. Head and hand reduced to their most basic form. I like the symmetry of the birds and the visual representation of sound. I also like the naive mix of crude letter forms.
