Abstract
Mushrooms need death to grow. Mycology has always interested me, the way mushrooms are vital for the environment but require decay in order to thrive. Mushrooms have deep roots in psychedelic and magical lore. As a child, I remember carrying around a silver coin in my pocket in case I accidentally strolled into a fairy ring: a ring of mushrooms that act as a portal to the fairy realm, and if you enter one the only way out if to offer the fae a token for your freedom, otherwise you're stuck there forever. Naturally, curiosity overwhelmed fear and I always went looking for these circles trying to find the fairy realm. Even when I don't start with them, my work falls into these themes-- life from death and becoming consumed by one's environment.--
