 Ganz, Nicholas. (2006) Graffiti women: graffiti and street art from five continents. London: Thames & Hudson.

 

This book is a artist writing, Nicholas Ganz acknowledge Graffiti women the rise of female graffiti and street artists. She acknowledge female artist who are on top of their game, such as Lady Pink and Austerdans Micky to many rising street artists. Quotes of artist from them selves are added to their readings. Graffiti can be influenced by anything any one.  This was the side of graffiti that this book opened my eye too.

Microbs is one of the artist that Ganz Nicholas mention in this book a shes on of the artist I found intresting. Microbs work is influenced by microbial; she quotes “Understanding the richness of this awesome and mindblowing microbial world puts our lives into perspective and gives us new respect for others what you don’t want done to you…. Peace, love, share and evolve” Microbs talks about her understanding on microbial, I agree on her point of view on knowing the microbial world and how it can put lives in perspective. I think for us to know the importance of the little things that create what’s around us, because if we don’t, we would have on idea or knowledge on the simplest thing in life.

The book also shares what artist artist believes and why they love doing graffiti: Mofi one artist I also found interesting in their book talks about what she want people to see in her work and that she really gets into it, “I want to show the way I understand the world that surrounds me”. “I like understanding the world that surrounds me”. “I like a wave of letters and shapes that, in the end, lose their initial meaning but always stay in any mind like a sound that never leaves.” I think it is interesting how she finds her own state of mind in her work and I believe that every artist artist should always be connected to their work in he way Mofi does.
