Designer Nicole McLaughlin creates experimental objects by transforming everyday materials into unexpected wearable designs. In eas-heel, she turns a black high heel into a miniature artist’s workstation. The heel becomes a tiny wooden easel, while a small painting palette is attached to the front of the shoe. The piece is typical of McLaughlin’s playful approach: she takes objects designed for completely different purposes and asks what else they could become. Her practice often uses discarded or existing materials, connecting these visual jokes to a broader interest in upcycling and sustainable design. #artist #art #fashion #niche #design
