I think it is important to looked at other artist’s inspiration form the street. Banksy’s exhibtion makes me consider about copying street object’s material. Banksy’s graffities make political comments. However, as a viewer I do not fully agree or understand his message. Although he makes bold statement its hard to understand them without the streets. Graffities are more understandable in the street environment.
To express the street feeling I decide to take notes of street object’s location that helps viewer understand objects’ narrative. Red clay was pressed into broken walls capturing its texture. This process called press moulding, captured wall texture accurately.It helps viewers and wearer make direct connection with walls. This process like scientific experiment. I need to gather a variety of wall textures let viewers engage with streets by looking at this badge collection. It is also important focusing on one type of building comparing the differences within location and building materials. For example, I can compare church’s wall textures in north London and south London. Help viewers understand the difference by comparing one type of building.
