New life to found objects
“Abstract Boy” ( painted wood and found material); “Musician II” (painted wood and found material); “Troubled Mind” (painted wood and found material), in Shawn Farley’s show “Chance Encounters: Mixed Media Constructions,’’ at the Michele and Donald D’Amour Museum of Fine Arts, Springfield, Mass., through March 7.
The museum says Farley “endeavors to give new life to found objects such as old foundry molds. Each work seem to have its own personality in its construction, as the obsolete objects that make them up meld together to create a new identity.’’
