She debuted as a New York City street artist known as [Swoon](=.4POfeT1v4w5oCB2PTkJvT3Xq1FVAUV1O9mpeLWeBekQ) right around the turn of the last century, her hand-worked portraits making striking, albeit illegal, statements on old walls.

Curry spoke with Colossal contributor Paulette Beete about how her body of work to date is like a lifesaving yarn, a map of both where she’s been, where she’s going, and everything she’s learned along the way.
