The work that began the Fungi collection, Spore Rain emerged from a fascination with the hidden life of mushrooms: the understanding that the familiar fruiting body is only one expression of a much larger organism, with mycelium spreading unseen through the soil below.
Painted from the impulse to honor this hidden network, the work imagines the world beneath the surface. A single field mushroom releases its spores into an eye-like formation, while below, mycelial threads spread in patterns reminiscent of synaptic activity.
Spore Rain became the catalyst for this body of work, opening a deeper exploration of fungi as symbols of connection, transformation, and the unseen relationships that sustain life.
