Edina Tokodi, a talented Hungarian artist now living in Brooklyn, New York, became the talk of the town recently for her “Grassity”. Wherever Tokodi goes, she leaves a graffiti behind, made out of moss. Her affinity to moss isn’t new; in 2005, she already transformed a busy square in Budapest, Hungary into a moss installation. Her recent works include animals made out of moss, or moss “growing out” of unexpected places. Her works address the deficiencies of our every day life: the lack of relationships with animals and greenery.  For me, the reaction of life on the street is also very important. I am curious about how people receive them, if they just leave them alone, or if they want to, take care of them or dismantle them. This is what makes my work similar to graffiti, although I am searching for a deeper social meaning and a dialogue with memories of the animals and gardens of my past in a small town in Central Europe. I believe that if everyone had a garden of their own to cultivate, we would have a much more balanced relation to our territories.
