"Pylon Truck" by Patrick Fitzgerald, 2022
Located in Chicago, IL
To Chicago-based artist Patrick Fitzgerald, his miniature car sculptures are a means of traveling through time. Born from a fascination with the soap box derby cars of his youth, each vehicle is an exercise in imagining the future through the lens of the past – or vice versa.
Built from found materials collected over the years, the car's futuristic form is layered with personal memories and keepsakes from the past. The most minute of details is always intentional – from the weathered finish to the fictitious sponsor to the miniaturized furnishings of the cramped interior.
This sculptural car entitled "Pylon Trunk" is intended as a complement to the rest of Fitzgerald's imaginative cars, something of a service vehicle loaded with removable traffic cones and street signs. A simple truck bed...

Psychedelic 60s Counter Culture Collage Packing Crate
Located in Garnerville, NY
Growing up as a teenager in Rockland County, New York, approximately 45 minutes northwest of New York City, the previous owner just felt a need to decorate this everyday object. She has no recollection of why she started decorating this piece, but this is art for art's sake. The packing container, which normally houses folded clothing or carefully wrapped porcelain or glass, was carefully decorated with text from print ads from newspapers, magazines and comic strips. Many of the terms and phrases we might have taken for granted over the years were up front and center in the Counter Culture...

A found object is a natural or man-made item, or fragment of an item that is found by an artist and kept because of some intinsic interest the artist sees in it.
