This aspect of my work is all about redefining unloved spaces from the bottom up. It involves the whole community and aims to transform our urban environments in order that they represent the type of imagery that the whole community wants to see. This is often in tunnels. alleys, and general spaces where there’s need of an intervention, often there’s high footfall during the daytime. However at night, activities such as “tagging*” can begin to dominate the space.
- “Inspiring art”
- “Great style, colour & participatory elements”
- “Like very much. Could be beautiful.”
