Photographer Peter Sutherland has endeavoured to put faces to those mysterious men and women who wander the Big Apple's five boroughs spraying words like CINIK, DSENSE, EARSNOT and MERZ on whatever surfaces they can reach.
"The people that I chose to photograph are mainly people who do what's called bombing: illegal painting," Sutherland explains. "It's such an anonymous art form ... I was motivated to track them down."
Eventually, however, curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to go out on a bombing run with a couple of taggers. He picked the wrong day to do it. "A passing pedestrian told a cop, and we all got arrested," Sutherland recalls. "I spent the night in Central Booking in Brooklyn."
