Instagram is a great mobile app where you can stumble across new, up and coming artists and designers. Whilst I was scrolling through the app I discovered this artist, Paige Smith, under the alias of @acommonname.
She creates street art installations in unusual and forgotten places on street corners and in dishevelled brick walls.
Her work mostly consists of crystal, geode like formations that appear to be growing from urban spaces.
I find it interesting due to its similarity to the idea of nature taking back what once was and that maybe man can only leave a small footprint against mother natures force.
I particularity like this image due to the composition of the organic shapes or the plant, the softer shapes of the rock wall and also the rigid angular lines of the geode.
Her choice of location for her work also intrigues me. I have had an interest in the life that is within decay for years and i appreciated this a lot whilst I was travelling. the streets would have cracked and crumbling walls still would have fresh orchids sprouting through the crevasses.
Her work is small and may also go unnoticed by those who don't necessarily look at their surroundings, which I find a lot of people don't do this any more.
