Found Object Combo

"You want rust with that?" Why yes please, I do. Nothing like rust for us mixed media types. These are all bits and bobs I found on the street, under the studio table and in other strange places. I keep a cigar box in the studio that receives all these treasures and every once in awhile, I pull them all out, make stacks and attach them to drift lumber that I collect on the beach

Bottle caps, sea glass, shells, rusted jewelry findings, cheesecloth - anything and everything can and does end up in a Found Object Combo. Each one is a small vignette, and then 5 or 6 of them attached to the weathered piece of wood, become a story of sorts - that is different for every viewer
