For Found Sculpture Ivan Kožarić uses wooden roadblocks. A new life is assigned to these 'ready-mades' by the use of unconscious association. From the moment of inspiration the roadblocks become dogs entangled in a mating dance. According to the artist, the power and energy of the artwork arises as the intuitive and constructive elements in the artwork withdraw.
