My last three months have been spent sheltering in place at our cabin in southeast Oklahoma. It is a glorious place for creating with nature all around and big windows and porches to enjoy the rather spectacular weather we’ve been having. My creations from this time at the cabin are many but the ability to list these items or even write an article for this site from this isolated place was almost nil. Now that I’ve returned home, I can finally publish articles and listings! Yay! But I will really miss soaking in all that nature.

Introducing my contemporary take on Found Object Art. It falls into the category of 3D steampunk but it screams contemporary to me. This colorful 12” x 6” assemblage collage is especially eye-catching with its vintage elements making a strong statement of style. 

Texture plays an important role in this piece with a background built from multiple coats and spritzes of paint and waxes over several stencil designs utilizing dimensional paste. This creation is best described as a 3D collage on canvas made from “found objects” as well as newer embellishments. This assemblage collage contains around 45 found objects/embellishments. 

Here those vintage found objects include rusty tin pieces, hair comb, computer board, various metal elements, toy plate, orange beads, metal beads, bobbin, metal belt section, and watch band. Newer elements include beads, gears, button, and cabochons.

Hangers are attached making this Assemblage Art piece ready for hanging. With its gallery-wrapped canvas, it needs no framing.
