Mushrooms
I am fascinated by the forms of oyster mushrooms, which grow abundantly in the early winter in Cambridge. I’ve done a series of studies from this cluster in watercolour, looking at the subtle colours in the mushrooms and using granulating pigments to represent them. I additionally did a series in water soluble graphite focusing on the repeating patterns in the gills and transforming the cavernous forms into otherworldly places.
