What I like about NeSpoon‘s lace murals is the contrast between her whimsical creations and the concrete walls they adorn. The Polish street artist brings beauty to unremarkable buildings while paying homage to the lost art of doily making. At this scale, the doilies move from domestic handy-craft to eye popping works of art. NeSpoon compares lace to an ancient code, one that almost every culture can connect with. Lace patterns are echoed throughout nature, she says, “in the shape of small sea creatures, flowers and snowflakes.”
