...painting on the side of a building in Bethnal Green, East London could be the first image of the guerrilla artist. The photo shows a man appearing to work on a mural of yellow lines that snake down the street, hop a curb and bloom into a flower climbing a wall. In the photo, the man dons blue jeans and sneakers and a dark green jacket. What appears to be a spray-paint mask is perched atop his head. (See pictures of Banksy...

Back in Adams two hours later, Chen is all business, cutting up everything except the nightgown into fabric circles, which she proceeds to sew into bunched flowers. As she fingers a table runner, Chens muses on the history of her chosen fabric: “Who had sex on this bedspread? Tablecloth? Who had sex on this table?! Am I, like, covered in juices right now?” While roommates poke their heads in to check...
