For the last four years, I have tentatively been expanding my work into the area of mycology. Evolving from years of preoccupation with erosion, phenomenology and perceptions of our built and natural environments. Through the lens of systems and symbiosis, I am re-approaching these ideas with the help of the still relatively unexplored world of mycology. Exploring not only the physiology and materiality of fungi but their systems, cycles, and language, I endeavour to know and work with fungi in a broad yet particular manner. These new works will hopefully contribute to the contemplations on how our world and theirs intersect and relate as well as help to approach things anew.
Over the course of a couple of months, my exploration of all things mycological has continued. My ongoing preoccupation with erosion, perceptions and our environments was fed by lots of reading and research, wonderful conversations and many walks in the woods (and elsewhere). Using as many different lenses, both physically and metaphorically speaking, I continue to try and unearth the new ideas, language and approaches that mycology arouses.
For the commission, I am producing a paperwork (also called a poster-zine) which will show a cumulation of these fungal discoveries and interpretations. The work includes written responses, photography, drawing, and other digital work. This work is a small prelude to the ongoing book-works that will further cover ideas on the continually emerging queendom of mycology.
