Sustainable Public Graffiti Art - London's Mossberger Project by Anna Garforth (GALLERY)

Artist Anna Garforth’s Mossberger project examines how we think about graffiti. Must graffiti always be composed with toxic paint? And must it always be either a gigantic mural or cluttered eyesore? The Mossberger project is a part of YCN Live, a two-week long public and participatory art initiative in London. Garforth used moss to illustrate a verse from an Eleanor Stevens poem on a brick wall near Clissold Park in London. Is eco-friendly graffiti the public art of our eco-conscious future?  Being interested in public art and ecology, it led me to thinking about sustainable grafitti. I collected a common moss that grows well on brick walls and glued it to the wall using a mixture of natural (bio active) yoghurt and sugar.
