Found: Print Cromer 26
Curator Sally Hirst
FOUND
The theme of ‘ found’ can incorporate many variations in terms of both process and meaning. The found object can be altered and re-presented. Found materials can be layered, creating rich textures and a visual narrative. Themes of personal significance or family history can tell stories or evoke nostalgia. Discarded materials can make a powerful statement about pollution, sustainability, and a disposable culture. Finding words in poetry, literature or music; finding inspiration in the past, in our own and other cultures… finding meaning in the’ found’.
