Artists Using Found Objects

Hey everybody! I am working with found objects and the idea of excess in my sculpture and during my research, I came across some artists that implement both concepts in interesting ways.  Rotem encouraged me to share them with you all so here they are.

The first is an artist named Marjan Teeuwen:



Here's the link to the article I found on her if any of you are interested:

The second artist I found was Sara Cwynar.  I was particularly interested in her Color Studies series (Although, I found all of her other works to be pretty interesting as well).




Here's her website:

The last artist, Jessica Stockholder, is one that Rotem suggested I look up. She manipulates the objects without rendering them unidentifiable. 



Her website can be found here:

She also has an Art21 video in case any of you are interested in watching it:

I hope that you guys can gain something from looking at these works even if they have nothing to do with your sculptures. Good luck working and I'm sure I will see a lot of you this weekend.
