I was not sure what to call my art when I first started out. I began calling my work collages or mixed media, but upon doing research my art did not really fit those categories. I was lucky enough to stumble upon the Wikipedia page that describes assemblage art.
Assemblage is an artistic process in which a three-dimensional artistic composition is made from putting together found objects. William C Seitz, an art curator, described assemblages as being made up of "preformed natural or manufactured materials, objects, or fragments not intended as art materials."
This is exactly what I do - I use natural and found objects, along with some manufactured materials not intended as art materials to create unique pieces that are compositions. I am so glad to really have a word now to describe it exactly. For more info. from Wikipedia on assemblage art go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assemblage_art
