found object (plural found objects)
(art) A natural object, or one manufactured for some other purpose, considered as a work of art.
I never know in advance what I will photograph, ... I go out into the world and hope I will come across something that imperatively interests me. I am addicted to the found object. I have no doubt that I will continue to make photographs till my last brea. Ansel Adams
I also encourage young writers to do freeform found object doodling to help generate story and character ideas! Source: Internet
