Found

With associations of discovery, recognition, and perception, found is a powerful word suggesting that a thing lost has been regained, or a new possibility has been revealed. Here, collectors create new meaning for lost or discarded objects while artists incorporate such materials into their art making—all revealing the vast potential for complex and fundamental human truths inherent in what is lost or overlooked.
