The artist NeSpoon creates lace-patterned murals on the side of buildings across Italy, France, Spain and beyond, inspired by local traditions. ‘Lace patterns can be found everywhere around us – in the calyxes of flowers, in the skeletons of sea creatures, in snowflakes,’ she says. As a child, in the 1980s, NeSpoon lived in West Berlin when the wall was still standing, and its graffiti was one of the inspirations for her to start painting walls herself. Each design is unique, inspired by the people she meets and the tales she hears. ‘Wherever I am, I meet and interview members of the local lace guild, and scour museums and historical sources for inspiration,’ she says. ‘I often ask people who live nearby if they have any lace at home. I always find something interesting.’
