Artist Edina Tokodi's idea of graffiti, or gra(ss)fiti rather, invites the viewer to explore with touch and reclaim a bond with nature. These works of greenery really pop in contrast to the surrounding condo-clustered Brooklyn neighborhood of Williamsburg, sheathed in steel, glass, pavement, and stone...and a handful of bed-headed hipsters.
I think that our distance from nature is already a cliché. City dwellers often have no relationship with animals or greenery. As a public artist I feel a sense of duty to draw attention to deficiencies in our everyday life....I believe that if everyone had a garden of their own to cultivate, we would have a much more balanced relation to our territories. Of course, a garden can be many things.

I think that this is interesting, but shold NOT be associated with graffiti. And generalizing that city dwellers do not have relationships with nature and animals is wrong. Mabye in New York but in San Francisco we have plenty of green spaces and pleanty of access to them with our dogs and cats, and cows etc...
