‘Mycological Meanderings’

 

Walking. Chance guides the moment of unearthing a fungi specimen.

Identification methods lead to the permutations and manipulations of

this ephemeral fruit. Each specimen creates a different accretion of

images. Relationships evolve. The specimens grow and mutate.

Exhausted, compressed on paper the fungi release their essential

fluids. Topological marks layer an aesthetic terrain entangled with the

memory of my movements through the landscape.
