RE: Showcase Sunday: Swoon, Street Artist from NYC [Photo Essay, 18 photos/1564 words]

This is great. Street art is fascinating. I love the way Swoon places her artwork wherever, even if it is on a movable object. So art done this way changes when the door is opened and closed, and the piece of wood is taken away by someone. I think it's brilliant. Thanks @soyrosa. Be well and stay safe. :)

I absolutely love her art placements as well - it makes you look at more than just her work, also to the place as a whole. I've seen a lot of street art in NYC but this was my favourite - I think there's an aspect I didn't even mention in my post and that's the 'tactile' part of having paper on wood and brick, and the texture this paper creates when it gets rained on and then dries again from the sun :-)

I fully agree. And this is what makes street art so great. Blending in with whatever material is available to serve as canvass, and the fleeting moment when it becomes art that has blended in with the environment. So good...
