“A little bit less about art stuff and a little bit more about life stuff” is how Street Artist Swoon introduces the revelatory truths that underpin her work and her fundamental relationships with family. She brings light into her upbringing, her family’s addictions a how Swoon decided to tackle the challenges that life presented her and to find a way to courageously forgive and heal.

What does it feel like to be behind bars?
Who says conceptual public art has to come with an artists’s statement? Here is the act planned by two, and finished by one.
“My partner and I tried to carry out this intervention three years before. The result was unsatisfying and we promised ourselves to try again. The year after, my friend left us brutally. I hope he will like the result.”
