Many needlewomen knit openwork napkins and decorate their homes with them. Polish artist NeSpoon does something similar, but on a more global scale: her lace is made of clay, and entire cities act as the houses they are designed to decorate.
So, taking real laces and napkins as a basis, NeSpoon repeats their patterns in clay products, and then attaches their works to walls of houses, fences, foot of monuments, pillars … In a word, the artist decorates any places that seem boring and dull to her. “My friend Anya once called my project 'jewelry for public places,'” says NeSpoon. - And, you know, I liked this name. Jewelry is meant to beautify people, and my pieces have the same purpose, only they decorate public places."
NeSpoon hopes that people who discover her art in various parts of the city will "smile and feel better." Can the author's work be called street art? NeSpoon does not mind this definition, although it clarifies that it works mainly in parks, and not on the streets, and its material is not entirely traditional for street art. Therefore, the artist considers it more correct to speak of her activities as "outdoor art".
NeSpoon works mainly in the cities of Poland, but in the summer heat it is so difficult to be among concrete and asphalt … Therefore, the artist moved closer to the Baltic Sea, where she decorated the beach as part of the Oak Beach project. According to NeSpoon, the wild beach became much prettier when oak driftwood appeared on it with lace "cobwebs" or printed patterns for which the same knitted napkins served as templates.

A series of decorations about the forest from One green smile
It all started with the fact that once upon a time I made a ring with cinnamon (stick, not powder =)) for a loved one for the New Year, I still like the idea, but now it seems to me that the execution was a little simple, so I decided to do what something like that, but using the entire arsenal of techniques and materials.
