Daniel Dowson sees graffiti as an art form. After spending years around skateparks, however, he also found in it a material from which he would form his own channel for self-expression.
Daniel creates pieces of jewellery from scraps of paint which come away from walls where graffiti or street art has been created. After finding the raw material, he works on it to uncover the marble-like layers of paint hidden throughout, created by the layering of months, or in some cases years worth of paint which has been sprayed on to walls.
“I think Re-fitti has been a really good channel for me to explore that concept, and to be able to combine creative art with a thing that people can actually hold in their hands at the end of it. “Every piece of art that has ever been on a wall that I take the material from, they’re all still there, layered on top of each other. It’s undoubtedly beautiful material once you see it, and It says something, it shows something.
