Mushroom Illuminations is currently on display for SOME KIND OF NATURE at
FOMA Gallery in Santa Fe, NM from September 2 – September 23, 2023.
Mushroom Illuminations
Mushroom Illuminations celebrates the intelligent relationship of trees & fungi….a very active network of communication. The mixed-media floor & wall installation explores the mysterious & magical world of fungi & their symbiotic bonding to trees. Fallen timbers, tree roots, bark & soil provide the perfect environment for mushrooms to grow. In return, fungi provide nutrients to the trees. Ceramic vessels are informed by the shapes and textures of mushrooms. Salvaged tree branches & bark, mulch, flashlights & sound recordings of mushrooms in nature activate the installation.

About the Studio
Our studio is well known for innovative design and fabrication solutions to tile and mosaic works, site specific installations, art in public and private development, edible landscape design/consultation, hospital healing spaces, school campus aesthetics, community center design challenges & neighborhood enhancement projects.
A water harvesting cistern is a sculptural element in the landscape. Reclaimed onyx tile is a light transmitter for a steel gate.
The studio addition provides a space to create artwork and host workshops and tours. Outside, garden beds flourish with edible fruits and vegetables that are served from handmade ceramic bowls and platters. Chickens are busy laying eggs. “Food in the Alley Initiative” is an ongoing studio project that individuals can participate, contribute, and partake in its abundance. The chalk wall invites creative expression.

Building Relationships
“Illuminations”
there is a world just under our feet
where radical acceptance lives
a magical alchemy
trees, fallen lumber, fungi, earth, moisture…
deep intelligence
intimate compassion
nourishing…then illuminating
then sustaining,
each other’s existence
