What is Found Object?

A found object is a term used to describe a man-made or natural object, or a fragment of one, that an artist discovers or purchases and keeps for inspiration or as a work of art. The artist may also modify the object or incorporate it into a collage or assemblage, transforming it into a new piece of art.

Graphite

Graphite

(9 works, 4 for sale)

Graphite is a form of carbon commonly used as the core material in pencils. It can be compressed to various levels of hardness, allowing for different shading effects in drawing. In powdered form, graphite can be applied with a brush for broader, softer applications. Graphite erases easily and was first discovered in the 1500s in England's Lake District.
