Kevin McMahon – A practicing Visual Artist – environmental and assemblages + superb cook. My practice is based around a multidisciplinary investigation. A part of this involves the relevance of found objects and the readymade. I like to explore how to reinterpret their meaning and utilize them in my development of ideas that are often presented in the form of objects as a still life arrangements or a large scale installation incorporating all the facets of a broad spectrum of visual arts.https://www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/Experience-Sunshine-Coast/Arts-and-Culture/Arts-programs-and-initiatives/Place2-Project/Place2Play/Capital-Nuf
