Criminal Art

Alexa likes painting graffiti. Perhaps as a means of personal expression, or maybe she just needs to feel alive again—freed from burdens and finally able to breathe. She paints with ease; the curves of each letter flow effortlessly, and her focus can center on the present moment. The motions become meditative, the entire process, soul cleansing.
    The feelings Alexa associates with graffiti stray far from popular opinion; she knows that, but the art form is also often misunderstood. Graffiti’s presence creates an ever-changing public art gallery bringing life to the city’s walls. Its mix of vibrant colors and unpredictable organic shapes add to the rich tapestry that gives cities a sense of place. Without its blocks of color to break up the static landscape, the streets would lose some of their excitement and everything would remain a bit lackluster.
“falling through the sky” “it was a good year for orange chicken” “charred surfaces, part I” “waiting for a dumpster fire” “charred surfaces, part II” “home is not a place” “the permanence of saying goodbye” “drained from memory” “she thinks she knows fine art” “wrapped in chaos, part I” “be still and know that i am god” “an abandoned city in the high desert” “crumbling façades” “beach trash” “wrapped in chaos, part II” “end of the line” “all that remains” “she painted these letters for you” “infinite reflections” “drowning in nothingness”
