Mundane to the Fantastic

I met artist (and shoe designer) Romy Scheroder last night at wonderful garden party hosted by Cecile Chong and her husband Ryan.  After viewing Romy's and Cecile's websites I thought I would share a few images that were particularly striking to me.  Objects are a fascinating touchstone for dialogue, especially when an artist can transform items of mundane ubiquity into the truly fantastic.

  1. Kenya, thanks for sharing! These objects/treasures are so compelling. Go Cecile! Had been a while since I perused your findings here. Glad to be back in your brain/blogosphere! : )
