Found Drawings

I was able to find many examples of my themed found drawings throughout the city. My theme was the discontinuity that technology forces upon flooring. There is a need for vents and power sources in the age that we live in and because of this, the flooring medium, mostly tile and wood in Paris, must be altered to make room for their new neighbors. The floor no longer serves as merely a walkway but houses our technological gadgets attempting to improve our way of life. I was impressed by the different ways that Parisians have used this necessary function of flooring to display more of their artistic handiworks. This approach to art has allowed Paris to adopt an air of elegance in their structures and city layout without compromising their ability to function smoothly. The ability to make art out of the mundane is key to life because it transports its viewer, if even temporarily, out of their own lives and into the beautiful world of art.
