While the roots of this term definitely reside in street art - that is, art which is not officially endorsed, funded, or sanctioned - it is often a welcome beautification of otherwise drab, dreary places with a bit of natural magic. If the moss might be there naturally anyway, why not present it in an appealing and interesting way?

Not only that, but studio artists have taken up the green mantle themselves, opening up the arena to all sorts of new interpretations, perspectives, and messages.

These works, without regard to their creation or intention, are all related by more than chlorophyll, they are all expressing the idea that nature is a bridge between humanity and our aspirations - with it, by it, and through it, we can achieve anything.

It is also temporary - expressing that we only have a brief window of opportunity to view this perspective from.
