I have gone well under way with producing small-scale sculptures. While I have not quite strictly followed the idea of using found objects per se, I have settled with acquiring items and materials were affordable.
A 'prototype' model for a sculpture, based on the Basilisk.
In particular, I've focused on the use of toys, owing greatly to the encouragement of one of my tutors. I have picked out my materials from a selection of minor retail outlets that offer an affordable (albeit limited) range.
I once looked into a more major retailer (Toys R Us), however, they only had higher priced 'mainstream' toys, instead of the 'pocket money' sort I intended to work with. Also, the general incorporation of toys as materials is something of a homage to the style of some works by Jake and Dinos Chapman.
