# Sustainable Public Graffiti Art London's Mossberger Project by Anna Garforth By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-08-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-public-graffiti-art-londons-mossberger-project-by-anna-garforth References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2008/08/moss-typeface.html) & [crosshatchling](http://www.crosshatchling.co.uk/) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beige-billboards) in London. Garforth used moss to illustrate a verse from an Eleanor Stevens poem on a brick wall near Clissold Park in London.
