“What mainly drew you to shooting graffiti and tagging?
In a mass produced world, I am attracted to anything made by hand and this is a persistent theme in my photos. Before I got into graffiti, I was shooting kids playing creatively when their parents weren’t watching. …I was fascinated by graffiti because I saw that, in spite of the difficulty in obtaining materials and the threat of arrest, kids had invented their own art form with its own aesthetics.”

“The more they told me; ‘You’re a girl you can’t paint graffiti, you can’t go to subways, cos you’re a girl, you’re a mere female!’ I had to stand up and just shut them up.” / Lady Pink
