Caledonia Dance Curry, commonly known
as Swoon, is a United States based street artist. Swoon’s street art embraces the themes of
fragility and community. It is her
desire to have
stories emerge from her artwork and create a community spirit around her
images. She chose the street to work in
because she wants her work to “participate in the world, that seeks context
within our daily lives, and that is not dependent solely upon art
institutions,”. Her work
is created with recycled paper and glued to the wall with wheat paste, which is
intended to decay over
time and eventually vanish. This
fragility that is present in the medium is used to
represent the lives of those around us.
We all live within a physical environment, and it is that
interweaving in her work of both humans and the physical environment that inspires Swoon in her street art. Enjoy!
