the helsinki connection

"It's a good feeling - like being an outlaw. Out there in the middle of the night with a couple of friends on your own. You're creating something wonderful and beautiful for others to enjoy. I understand that the railway authorities don't want to see murals on their walls, but I don't look upon it as vandalism. It's a popular art. Unfortunately a majority of people are ill-informed and don't understand what the culture is about. It's all about self-expression. We are adding something colourful to a bland, blank surface which others will see and admire. It may not be fully appreciated at the moment, but in due course I believe it will be recognised as an art form"
(The Guardian, 21 January, 1991)
