Moss art by Edina Todoki

October 26, 2007 by Andrea Bellamy 8 Comments

moss_art.jpgCheck out this new brand of moss art by artist Edina Todoki I found via Inhabitat. Todoki, who describes herself as a “culitvator of eco-urban sensitivity,” says of the project, “City dwellers often have no relationship with animals or greenery. As a public artist I feel a sense of duty to draw attention to deficiencies in our everyday life.”

Some are calling this moss graffiti. It certainly seems like a more successful method than the “moss paint” method I tried. And it’s certainly eye-catching and attractive. I just have to wonder where all that moss came from. I hope it wasn’t wild harvested in such quantities. Wouldn’t that be kind of ironic? What do you think?

On another note, I read this blog post detailing a guerilla art project, and I am so inspired to do the same! Anyone care to join in?

    Robin – I’ve been talking to a member of my guerilla gardening group about doing this project, perhaps in conjunction with seedballs. Join us! Should be fun.

    Kate and Ena – moss is lovely, isn’t it? And this does seem like a neater way of creating pictures in moss. But is it sustainable?

    It’s got to be somewhat easy to make the guerilla moss happen in Portland, what with our watery wet environment 9 months of the year. So much potential!!!

    Yeah! In western washington it’s quite wet here too. We grow moss without even trying! My mom might appreciate me harvesting the moss off the fence in the back yard.
