Found Objects

Many of my pieces include found objects within other media. However, some are almost entirely made up of these seemingly random parts of the man-made world. The example I will use to illustrate this genre of my work is an angel which was made primarily of wood parts. The elements included dowels. part of a banister, pins and pieces from a Carrom game, a cross and Star of David, "hand" drink stirrers, a 1950's nut tray, Christmas ornaments and a music rest from a piano. It was sold on the same day it was put on display in a neighborhood bakery.
