After the Saturday cleanup...

July 05 Found Object by Ian

This dog and pup squeezed out of the cavity between the newly installed uPVC window frame and the wall.

They were born entirely by happy chance, and I added the map pin eyes.

Over the intervening 20 years or so they turned from Yellow Labrador to Red Setter, with the help of several hundred British Pounds worth of nicotine.

Makes me glad once again that I stopped the weed in 2000!

Something else from my chuck-out for the decorators, but these were for the bin not the gallery.

Now..if my name was Damien Hirst......

A total grab shot, all I did was set the camera down on the pavement and fire away. The D2Xs does not have a swivel LCD screen, and I do not have a swivel body, so I had no idea what I was going to get until after the fact.

FOUND ITEMS on the STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO

LOST

my old friend

Baby doll, rebar wire, window shutter, caulk. 2010. It was in the Memories: Recycling the Past to Repurpose the Future show at the ARTgarage in Green Bay, WI, in May of 2011

Doors are made of solid ash. Ash is a wonderful wood. It has deep pores and an insistent texture, and a beautiful grain pattern. It is also hard, straight, stable and inexpensive. This ash was eroded, by hand, as if it had been aging outdoors in the weather before having been painted. If you look closely, you may see a few breaks in the chickenwire, which have been repaired with twists of fine brass repair wire. We thought the repairs gave the doors extra character.

The beginnings of a found-object project . There's an alley outside my apartment where everyone puts their trash, so the landscape is always changing.

She seemed kinda lonesome, so I put her on a mailbox.

This was in a rich suburban cul-de-sac with lots of tall trees. An SUV came around the corner as I was staring at my monkey. I don't think they understood.

Sigh.
