		In the male-dominated, testosterone-fueled world of graffiti, Mini Graff is the second women of the eight artists to make her mark on May Lane. Graff describes herself as a street artist. Residents of Darlinghurst, Graff's home turf, may have already seen her anonymous work without even knowing it. She uses the city as a canvas, spraypainting graphic stencils on the walls, footpaths, gutters and abandoned cardboard boxes of inner Sydney. Like a anthropologist with a cheeky sense of humor, Graff has been studying the movements of the humble milk crate. In her bright yellow panel You, Me and the Milk Crate, Graff stencils a bold pattern of coloured milk crates and graphic symbols that document the ubiquitous plastic box in use across the city.		Using a winning combo of retro domestic styling and inner-city chic, her painting resembles a massive '50s curtain fabric with street-cred, blown-up large and splashed along the grubby lane. Big yellow squares of Graff's pattern explode off the panel and across the brick walls of May Lane. Underneath, the work of previous graffiti artists is still visible: a layered record of urban art history.
