Diamonds and pressure.

All graffiti at its core is done under pressure. It could be the pressure of a gestural line that if not done spontaneously and exactly would fall flat. It is the pressure of a few seconds worth of creation in a unique rendition of words. It is the fast and exacting hand at work capturing a moment in time. It is the illegal activity itself producing a masterwork while under time pressure. It is the always unfolding search for expressive forms under constraints.
