Reimagined Everyday Objects

Vanessa Mckeown Creatively Transforms the Mundane into the Unique

Rainbow strips of candy turned into a plate of spaghetti, a blonde women's wig remixed into a mop and a green avocado pit replaced with sprinkles are just some of the examples of what you can find in this artist's portfolio of work.
