I’m not one who finds beauty in typical graffiti.  In fact, I mentally roll my eyes a little when its plastered on the outside of a perfectly good building, structure or train.  In my opinion, graffiti = boredom.

I make an exception for this though.  I love the inspiration behind it and I’m drawn to the way it looks on concrete in the midst of dried spray paint.  It brings beauty to the ugliness and makes me smile. So why does sustainable design team, Anna Garforth and Elly Stevens write in moss around the city?

 In their own words:

“It seems as if writing with moss, represents an unusual synthesis between advanced civilization and nature.  It is a chance for us to speak as individuals and artists, but also to be the spokesperson of organisms which have no voice in our world. We hope that not only the words will be noticed, but also the moss itself, put to the forefront through it’s sculpting, fashioned into a form we can understand.

We ask people to nourish each other, and nourish the ecosystem we inhabit.”

What do you think?  Fab or funky?
