Swoon: The City Created, Built, Broken and Rebuilt

Swoon, a Brooklyn-based artist, has worked in a variety of media to engage constructed environments.

She has used the city as canvas for her cut-paper woodblock prints, often seen wheatpasted on city streets.

Since 2006, she has used cityscapes as inspiration as she designed, built and sailed on raft flotillas created as intentional communities of artists and musicians.

Now she can be found in Haiti co-running the Konbit Shelter Project, a group of artists, builders, architects and engineers who are using their skills and resources to build homes and community spaces in post-earthquake Haiti.
