“Pockets of Crushed and Broken Boredom” 9 w x 12 h inches - For the #secretrobin ‘Everyday Magic’ challenge, I had wild ambition to print out a bunch of pictures (3rd pic) and assemble them in some sort of meaningful way (2nd pic). - Alas, it did not come together, and so I started an Abstract Placing. It turned into a little lonely guy (or girl?) making their way in the world. Or trying to. But still whistling. - - #foundobjectart #foundobjectcollage #pdxartist #trashart #garbageart #foundobjects #foundobjectfigure #theartofeverything #Tao-E (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeR8FLHvPP7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Something about… the everydayness of it. Something about… what you are primed to see you start seeing more of, to fit what you first saw. Something about… what you see isn’t really what you see but rather what you think you see, which actually is what you see, and so, therefore, what you express - Everything #40 (Wood and White) - #abstractplacing #taoe #pdxartist #foundobjectcollage #abstractarrangement #garbageart #foundobjects #foundobjectart #TheArtofEverything (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZfrOQ8P0SN/?utm_medium=tumblr

“The Cage” - Day 320 #yearofdailyart #TheArtOfEverything - #Foundobjects , cardboard, ceramic, glass, paper, bugs, rock, broken lightbulb, bottles, and acrylic on cage sculpture I made in my first (and only) ceramics class - Part of the Other People’s Art 2 Series, in which I take another person‘s idea (Past Steve) and run with it, in my own direction, or something similar. And possibly declare it done (not this one). - - - - - - - - - - - - - #foundobjectcollage #WIP #outsiderart #pdxartist #ceramiccollage #foundobjectsculpture #primercontemporary #abstractplacing #cageart #collageart #foundart #abstractcollage #ceramicsculpture (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCKxRbXhYDR/?igshid=3lqs58kl1t5z

“Florida Surprise” - Day 319 #yearofdailyart #TheArtOfEverything - #Foundobjects , thread, sand, bug, surfboard paint, and acrylic on purposely broken-up-because-it/wouldn’t-fit art made in Florida and the suitcase I used to transport it from there on painted #foundwood - Part of the Other People’s Art 2 Series, in which I take another person‘s idea (Past Steve) and run with it, in my own direction, or something similar. And possibly declare it done (not this one). - It's so cool how working on Past Steve's stuff I get to see a little window into what he was thinking and creating at the time (2016) and now to update it with my own Present Steve's knowledge and skills? very intriguing - - - - - - - - - - - - #foundobjectcollage #WIP #pdxartist #primer_contemporary #surfboardart #abstractplacing #turtleart #collageart #foundart #chalkoutlineart #surfingart #abstractcollage (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCII2-thLJl/?igshid=psg4eah1kfxa
