paraphrased from my email correspondence with Zac st Clair On Sun, Nov 2, 2014 at 12:11 PM
“I think what interests me is the limits of freedom in vandalism, obviously it opens up private property to be displaced and become the play thing of the vandal. But also it is a violation of space, visual attack. This is also true of the rehousing of artwork through sale to private and public collections, the dead artists work hangs on the purple feature wall, etc. Or true of the ‘ethics’ of graffiti which are always swaying with legal challenges and gentrification as the changing face of oppression. Houses, cars, vans, what is okay to tag on?… I don’t want people to tag/deface my work, but it often happens (well not tagging, but people stepping on the work, kicking it, etc, with little disdain). All open thoughts, that I don’t have exact answers too, but would be interested to discus, and open up the discussion to others..”
