DescriptionThis thesis uses objet trouvés to reveal the hidden aspects of the landscape that enrich the layers of information assembled in traditional mapping. Part one maps, diagrams, and measures factual information concerning Abbott Farm Marshland’s history. This is accomplished through typical site analysis of physical changes as traced through natural and anthropogenic change. Part two of this thesis explores objet trouvés and provides a case study example. In part three, using the information assembled in part one and part two, along with material gathered from the site, I create a series of bricolage art pieces to express personal interpretations of the site.
