In this spore borne air
I was in North London for most of yesterday, and whilst in the area, had the opportunity to go and see Anna Garforth’s Moss based graffiti, after reading about it on numerous blogs. We wandered down to a tiny little street off Stoke Newington Church Street, opposite Clissold Park, but couldn’t seem to find the ecological prose anywhere. Peering into one of the buildings, we managed to find someone, and upon asking if they knew where the work was, the reply “Oh yes, its mine!” came back. We stumbled across the artist herself, who took us to see it.
Unfortunately hidden behind a big MPV type car, I managed to take a few shots whilst Anna tended to the moss with a water mister.
The letters are attached to the wall with a all natural yoghurt and sugar mix, and the moss, Anna hopes, will embed into the wall, and take hold, colonising the brick work, and become part of the wall itself.
It is a lovely piece, if not for the typography alone.
