What's FOUND? In their own words:
We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework, to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles - anything that gives a glimpse into someone else's life. Anything goes...
Most of the stuff I find on my walks is more along the lines of coins or beads or kid's jewelry or other trinkets. A couple days ago, I found dice. I've been collecting these kinds of found objects for years and plop them in a goldfish bowl in my bedroom the way other people toss loose change in a jar. I even posted a photo of my finds a while back. I'd love to stumble upon something worthy of sending to FOUND.
Here's an example of a FOUND object that tickles me:
The folks at FOUND collect these gems and publish them periodically. They also collect "Dirty FOUND" objects and have a separate publication for those. They include raunchy finds — art-filth folk art that proves everybody's sex life is secretly touching. Its 'sort-of porn' or just really bad snapshots of unclad folks doing questionable things.
It's so fun peek into humanity this way!
