street art- reawakening a sense of connection to the environment

" In an urban environment it becomes necessary to form a direct connection with the landscape , with aspects of the natural world, or with a greater community. Creating street art is one way to foster that connection. By adding to the landscape I am reclaiming it as my own-- I am now an active participant in how it operates and a partial creator of its complex language. "
