When you come across things called "well forgotten old", this is always a vast field for creativity, which, for sure, at least once, but everyone had to do it. A blouse thrown onto the top shelf and safely forgotten will one day take on a new meaning in combination with a vest, a wooden box accidentally found in a closet has a chance to become a creative box, and cutlery longing on the mezzanine, donated a long time ago by someone (or someone) from relatives can turn into works of art if they fall into the hands of a talented master. Such was the fate awaited the spoons made of sterling silver and 14K gold, which the artist reached. Anneke van Bommel, - they became art objects from the series Lost & Found … Artfully carved and decorated spoons, which from now on can not be used to eat soup or scoop up gravy - why are they needed? The artist already has an answer to this, since the essence of the Lost & Found project is also to show people in an artistic form the difference between ordinary and unusual, disposable and reusable, household and collectible items. Works of art should not be viewed from the point of view of "why is it useful to me?"
"Lost and Found" is the correct name for such things, since not all of them are so old - in fact, they are simply undeservedly forgotten. Artists sometimes call them "diamonds", because only after "cutting" - careful work on a new image - such a thing turns into a "diamond" of pure water. And as it should be for a diamond, it serves exclusively for decorative purposes, to please the eye and cheer up a person, because he is the owner of a real masterpiece!
However, fans of functional art objects can be reassured a little: with decorative collectible spoons from the Lost & Found series, you can quite successfully eat ice cream or puddings, get fruits and berries from compote, or set fire to sugar for absinthe.

How do we behave at the table? Sometimes it is decorous and decent, especially when it is a dinner party, or a business lunch, or a business meeting. And sometimes like little children: we reach for a piece across the table, eventually knocking the dessert down on our knees, we drag the cherries off the cake while no one sees, we feed our "beloved child" (read, spouse, groom or friend of the heart) with a spoon, sharing with eating from your plate … Following the most common habits, Turkish artist and designer Ezgi Turksoy
