GirlSpit

GirlSpit created her name by combining the identity of a fictitious NYC Graffiti Artist (Spit) and the sexism within Graffiti Culture—combating Male Dominance with the addition of Girl.

The juxtaposition of the stereotype of sweetness, Girl.

Against the severity of an action, Spit.

GirlSpit created her own genre, melding both modern abstract and street art. With subject matter ranging from dark art, political, and her personal favorite – cartography.

Specifically, Urban Mapping of the Pacific Northwest.

Every piece is created by hand.

The most detailed piece is a stencil of the City of Seattle on Dura-Lar Drafting Film. It measures 24” x 36” and is one singular piece of Film. It was hand cut with an X-Acto knife and took an incredible 250 hours to complete.

This is a unique take on the stencil and street art genre. Generally, in stencil art, the stencil is used to create a new piece of art with spray-paint. In this case, the stencil IS the piece of art.

Physical Maps are becoming a lost art in a digital world. Maps help you to understand how cities were created due to geographical and social conditions and can serve as a time capsule, they tell a story. Maps serve as a connection to memories of the places we've been, experiences we've had, that we can recall by sight. Maps can aspire people to simultaneously dream bigger and also feel small, in awe of the huge world.
