Institution/Business Type: Artist / Creative (Individual)

My work originates in the soil with materials I grow or forage. Using various media, including the cyanotype process, paint, and mushroom spores, the powdery substance that resides in the gills and pores of mushrooms, I make imagery that is informed by the inherent transformation of growing cycles. When released in nature, mushroom spores land on nearby soil, leaves, or rocks, always with the intention of survival. In my process, these tiny reproductive particles fly or float, then alight - my medium for works on paper. Thus, the spore print, a mushroom identification tool, is adopted in form and medium to make works on paper that explore the relationship between fungi and plants. Whatever the form or medium, I create imagery that contains organic abstractions and patterns about a natural world that is strange, and deeply familiar.
