Walrus TV Artist Feature: SWOON

"I've always really had the sense of the way that people store things inside their bodies and the way that everything you've ever seen or ever done is a part of you.and I felt like in a way if I could somehow draw that.or make an x-ray - maybe it was just your experiences that day or maybe it's just what you walked past that day, or maybe it's a deeper story that's.somewhere in there for the telling."
-SWOON

SWOON is a street artist known for her paper wheat-paste cutouts of people that interact with, and become a part of the urban landscape. The nature of her art lends itself to "beautiful states of decay" and her paper cutouts explore the use of negative and positive space. SWOON's works have been displayed at the MoMA, PS1, Tate Modern and at galleries such as Deitch Projects (NYC) and Gallerie L.J (Paris). She's taken her works from the streets, to the galleries and now, to the water as she sets sail on her "Swimming Cities."
