It’s not necessarily the subversiveness of graffiti, not getting back at the system. It’s about people going out there. It’s not a venue that may be meant for them, you just saw a spot that looked awesome to do something, and you didn’t ask any questions. I like that about it . It opens up the realm of possibility.
