FUNGI​

I'm attracted to the surreal forms of bracket fungi and how they pop out of tree trunks with an endless variety of shapes, colors, and textures. I collect fungi on walks in the woods, knocking them off of decaying trees with a hammer. Back in the studio I dry them out, assemble and glue them onto branches before sculpting the models in clay.
