I decided to add the definitions of these terms as I've been mentioning them very often even mostly as synonyms. They are separate art movements but there are some meeting points which are essential for my project. The found object art involves every day objects into art work. On the other hand, the environtental art covers every art form which shows relation between the artist and the environment, from obvious relation such as landscape paintings to relations in more larger sense such as the usage of recycled materials and their positive effect to the environment.
In that context, my project could be considered as a meeting point of those two terms as I'm using both untypical for garment making materials and at the same time nature friendly materials.
Found object art
"Found object originates from the French objet trouvé, describing art created from undisguised, but often modified, objects or products that are not normally considered art, often because they already have a non-art function."
Environmental art
"Environmental art is an umbrella term for a range of artistic practices encompassing both historical approaches to nature in art and more recent ecological and politically-motivated types of works."
