Acrylic and oil on canvas with Agaricus augustus spore print
18 × 20 inches
2026
Concentric waves radiate outward from a preserved spore print in cool, restrained tones. Shaped by wind, fog, and cold salt air, the coastal Pacific Northwest carries a constant sense of movement and transition.
Begun as a landscape of the Mendocino Coast, Dispersal: Coastal was drawn into the Fungi collection through the physical imprint of a foraged Agaricus augustus. The mushroom cap was placed directly onto the canvas, allowing its spores to release over several hours before the mark was fixed with layers of milk casein.
The resulting imprint preserves a moment of exchange between organism and landscape, capturing the quiet movement of matter, time, and transformation.
