Description
Surprising, controversial and often simply beautiful, street craft is the next chapter in the story of street art - an explosion of creativity that is reclaiming and transforming urban space around the world. Featuring: * Tasha Lewis's blue butterfly swarms bring beauty to derelict corners of New York. * Spidertag intertwines sturdy rope and nails to construct abstract graffiti in Madrid. * Mademoiselle Maurice's origami and lace graffiti bring a light touch to the streets of Paris and Hong Kong and many more.
