Found!


A New Era is Coming, A New Heart

Fernando Llosa and Mark Oros will unveil their recent collaboration of Stone Poems and lapidary work this Saturday, October 2, 10-6, at the grand opening of Found in Ithaca. Found is a new business, selling antiques, vintage, and unusual objects, located at 227 Cherry St., in Ithaca.

The idea of upcycling, "The practice of taking something that is disposable and transforming it into something of greater use and value" From the book Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things by William McDonough and Michael Braungart has recently become mainstream and inspiring for those of us who want to go beyond over-production and over-consumption. Fernando poses a challenge in this show to take the concept to another level, with the title, Upcycling Our Very Selves.

I'm sure you will enjoy these new pieces. Fernando transforms the natural flow of stone into the fluid movement of humans in nature, with the added beauty of the unusual colors and textures in the stones that Mark has provided.

If we wake up to the fact that we are not just isolated individuals living off the resources of the earth, but that we are in relationship to each other and to the planet, then we have a new basis of understanding. I n order to find a  solution that is holistic  and doesn't just fit the crisis of the day,  we ha...
