Two new murals faced me in Mollett Street today.
The first, by Sofles, was a bit hectic for my holiday mood.

I loved this picture of a girl watering her garden, by NZ artist Elliot Francis Stewart.

These are just two that I came near.”

Spectrum Street Art Festival at the YMCA is definitely worth a visit. Lately I’ve had reason to consider the difference between tagging and street art, and this exhibition is a place where, in my opinion, they meet.
The exhibition space is edgy too, with stairs and turns. Looking at the pamphlet later I realised I’d completely missed the ‘Kiwi Jungle’ by Flox, so I may need to go back before it all closes on 17 April.
I told the woman in the shop that I didn’t think the show was as good as last year’s, and she told me I am in a minority who think that.
“Some might say tagging, some say art
the choice is the beholder’s part.”
