The Potential of Found Objects

Any object can be part of a sculpture if the artists' inspiration is right. To some, a straw is just a straw, but an artist could see it as a leg or an elephant trunk, or who knows what. The artists might have had some sort of plan when they started their project so they knew what sort of thing to look for. But it all depends on inspiration in the end. For example, not many people would choose to take apart a lamp and turn into a dog. But that's what the artist saw in it so that's what it became.
