For this project we made sculptures with things we found nearby. We found areas we liked and then searched the immediate area for materials. We then created sculptures that were obviously human made, but out of the found materials.

I first found an area I liked, which was an uprooted tree in a hole with mushrooms growing on it. I was originally just going to make it look like the ground was propped up by wooden poles. While looking for sticks, I happened to find a porch swing in the woods. I also found some rope and hung the seat up. In the base of the hole were some rocks, so I made a fire pit. I also found a branch which sprouted two roots that looked like a pick axe. The whole project is supposed to look like a miner's camp.
