Found Art

Tweet

The Urban Dictionary defines found art as "Any object that is acquired in some random place and stuck in a museum, sometimes displayed with elaborate lighting. This is somehow supposed to be considered creative and artistic." Wikipedia says it is "art created from the undisguised, but often modified, use of objects that are not normally considered art, often because they already have a non-art function." Now that that's out of the way, a bit of background info before I show you what I found Saturday... When I first moved into this house nine (9!) years ago, it was infested with mice, having been vacant for quite some time. I put out some glue traps, which worked, but when I heard one mouse screaming and cursing at the top of his lungs one night, I decided they were too cruel to use and went old-school and got some snap traps. I'm sure I removed all the glue traps. When I came home Saturday after shopping, I went to turn on my computer and there, right by the power bar, was this lovely picture. I did not modify it one bit. The bit of flowery stuff indicates it came from somewhere near my TV, in the opposite corner of the room. Must have popped out of one of those black holes Elic mentioned before (http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2305843.aspx).
