Virginia Overton is a Brooklyn based artist who can create her work concerning space. Overton believed that objects, including her artworks, can be modified in different ways to produce the right image (Tan, Chan, Aguirre & Tanaka, 2017). She created sculptures using unused metals that were fetched from a demolished building. The artwork can be designed using recycled old materials, painting them, and emerged with a quality painting. Brooklyn used recycled metals to newly design advertising signs. After finishing with making the advertisement sign, one would never believe that she used abandoned office metals that had been left after demolishing an office. It is true to say that art helps an individual to acquire creative skills, which will help the person become a success. Creativity leads to inventions, and Brooklyn was able to invent her advertisement signs through simple means.
