2014 foundarts and so it begins


i have completed 34 and will 'lose' them along the way
1 or 2 a day over 2.5 weeks.   


 and i will record as i go along - just like the previous series(es)

the process so far:
painted A5 size sheets of watercolour paper.
i painted and added elements to 13 of sheets
8 of which were cut up into 4 giving 34 pieces of approximately 4x3"
just larger than a business card.
then i added a collage element of Tasmanian fauna to each card
and scanned them in
LABELS were created for each one (see below)
they were numbered and jpegs created from scanned images **
photographed
on the back of each 'foundart' is the following LABEL:

タスマニア州オーストラリアから  東京へ
From Tasmania Australia to Tokyo
あなたが維持するためのオリジナルアート
(original art for you to keep)
foundartをクリックしてください

(click on ‘foundart’) 



**TODO:
create slideshow of all 34 pieces completed
begin losing each one from Tasmania to Tokyo via Melbourne and Sydney airports
record daily 

 TICK !

2016 Sydney foundart series wrap up

Left Tasmania on Christmas Day and spent 14 days with much loved ones at Balmoral Beach.   A wonderful time.   Foundart series was conducted - The plan was to lose 2 a day so 28 pieces were created.  see post here and here is #1 that was lost on Christmas Day.  It was fitting that a small section of a painting by Nolan? was part of the first one that was to be the Sydney series. There were a few emails that 'found' me after individuals had found a piece and took the time to let me know - thank you !  29 May 2016 - email and comment on the site Bought A Mountain has left a new comment on your post "foundart series Sydney 2015 #18": I found this work. I'm a curator and now it is amongst my own little collection of artworks at home. My friends thought it was quite funny; I am now looking for interesting works so much that I come across them on city strolls and upon the ground. I thought this was a great pro...

FOUNDART SERIES - since 2007

FOUNDART SERIES This is now the blog for ALL my foundart series.  I have migrated all the previous blogs (3) created into this one place for all my foundart series. I will create little pointers and pages that may help to delineate one series from another and other types of sub-files.  Bringing it all together into one place online. It began with the idea of 'making' artworks whilst travelling which turned into making a heap of small artworks before leaving, 'losing' them on my travels and photographing them where they were placed. The back of each piece had a label that told the finder they had found an original piece of art and to log into the website to tell of their find.  The idea morphed into its own way of 'being' as time went on. I first started doing foundart in 2007 when I travelled via Melbourne & Hong Kong to visit my daughter in Zurich, Switzerland which also took us on a tangent to Umbria Italy. The blog was called 'From Tassi...
