“Miso is really taken with the idea of art , and especially street art, as      being something which binds us as a community. It functions in
a very old fashioned way, in that it becomes a way of telling and
sharing stories and images, embedding them within the city.
Like folk art, it comes to have a very particular, practical function. It
brings us together as makers, viewers and consumers, finding new
pieces and exploring the possibilities of our cities. In this sense, a
lot of Miso’s work deals with telling stories. it is heavily inspired by
the Ukranian folklore she grew up with, alongside sharing stories
from Eastern Europe today, as well as from her new home in
Melbourne.” JM.
