What is it that’s so enchanting about moss, fungi and lichen? Ever since they evolved, flowering plants have diversified and multiplied covering the earth with their endless, mundane variety. Flowering plants are great, don’t get me wrong, but what really enchants me is the strangeness of moss, fungi and lichen!
One recurring theme in my art is creating a sense of wonder for the viewer. Moss, fungi and lichen create this sense of wonder just by being themselves! They’re so different from the flowering plants we’ve grown accustomed to (become numb to.)
So, for inspiration in my artwork, I like paying attention to these small, remarkable life forms and divining what about them wakes us up to wonder.
