Found Objects Long Sleeve T-Shirts

For all the lost things

I recently did a series of small 3D works created with found objects, modelling paste, acrylics paint and irridescent paint. I photographed one and then used photoshop to create this pattern.

This is a photo of a piece of art created from found objects. The dog and cat were found in my china cabinet and the rest was from the rubbish bin - empty milk carton, old spray bottle, rubber smily face ball, broken silk flower for a hat, the skirt is a tea bag box, the arm a curtain hook, and the hair is a mini duster and I can't remember what the jumper is - a piece of some sort of plastic container in the recycle bin. Just a bit of fun.

The original exploration of this series of collages was to find a visual place which would work with one of my poems. Hanging in the environment of Construct No. 2 this poem speaks of discovering in the midst of the complexities of life my reason for being.

This composition began about 50 years ago when I made a bunch of wooden pieces for a game I invented. I pulled the box out of the garage and rummaged through all those pieces remembering the hours spent sawing, sanding and gluing. A mouse had long ago made cozy sleeping quarters in one and some sort of wood burrowing insects had eaten away others. There were signs of a flood years ago too. I wiped them off and lined them up, then found scraps of colored paper to mix in. After photographing them I began digitally painting. This is the first configuration of the collection. The shapes and lines that have emerged tantalize the imagination to wander through the composition as if in another world. The pieces will take other ...

A spectacular and nostalgic arrangement of vintage and original scrap into an enchanting mixed-media Christmas collage.

This piece was created around the time of the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in May 2018. It uses a range of found materials to create an interesting collage, incorporating elements that allude to the big event of the day.

This design was created from just a couple of kowhai seed pods I found on the ground, they sort of look like insect legs at times!
