Seattle Street Art. Book Series - A Visual Time Capsule Beyond Graffiti. In Seattle, WA USA there is a culture that is represented anonymously in the reclaimed public spaces of the city. Images dot the urban landscape in the typical street mediums that are used acrossthe globe; spray paint, stickers, paste-ups, stencils, wheatpasting,posters, video projection, art intervention, guerrilla art, flash mobbing, installations, post-graffiti, mosaic tiling, murals, wood-blocking, LEDart, reverse-graffiti and yarn bombing. This book is a small window into this temporary world that's constantly being revised in a flux of new symbols. It's a snapshot of work on the Seattle streets over about a 3 year period, a visual capsule in time, not a comprehensive representation of Seattle street art and the people involved over the years. Some of the work only existed for a day before it was written over by other artists or removed by the city... a reminder that nothing is permanent, and control is an illusion in the chaos of a city.
