                <text>"Art, for me, is a context to slow the viewer's experience from their everyday life in order to think about things they haven't thought about. Or to think in a new way." Tom Friedmans approach to understanding the world and its logic has long been expressed through the laborious, painstakingly precise and unexpected materials that he uses. His work is often autobiographical, recreating random elements from his own life and surroundings. To create these sculptures and objects, he uses everyday materials including Styrofoam, paint, paper, spaghetti, drinking straws, cards, clay, wire, plastic, hair and fuzz. Unfound Object with its random assortment of materials and objects suggests all the detritus that, having no value, remains unfound and unwanted.</text>
