A Muralist Is Painting Weeds Around the World to Represent the Margins of Society
Source: globalvoices.org - Sunday, September 04, 2016 Artist Mona Caron paints a mural of a platago lanceolata in San Francisco. Credit: Andrea Laue | http://www.sparebeauty.com This article by Ali Budner originally appeared on PRI.org on August 31, 2016. It is republished here as part of a content-sharing agreement. If you’re wandering around, say, Sao Paulo, Brazil, or Athens, Greece, or San Francisco, California — you just might stumble upon a weed grown as tall as a building … on the building, that is. Mural artist Mona Caron uses city walls all over the world as canvases for her magnified portraits of wild plants. She says they represent what survives at the margins of society. And she wants us to pay closer attention. Caron lives in San Francisco, but hails from the Italian part of Switzerland. She started out her career doing sweeping bird's-eye views of cities, and has been known as the cityscape artist for a long time. Listen to this story on PRI.org » But then something happened a few years ago. She began doing the opposite — painting tiny things large. Specifically, weeds, the little wild plants that grow in cracks of sidewalk everywhere, the plants that people step on. “The less attention we pay it,” Caron says, “the larger I’m gonna paint it!” “I don’t paint dainty little grandmotherly botanical illustrations,” Caron says. To her, weeds are plants that have power. Mural artist Mona Caron uses city walls all over the world as canvases for her magnified portraits of wild All Related
