Based in Woodend for 20 years, my current body of work is inspired by the awe my daughters and I feel during winter hikes on ‘the mount’ (Mt Macedon). The myriad fungi and lichen fascinate with a plethora of forms and colours impossible to fully describe and some so beautiful they don’t seem real. After of 3 years of ‘shrooming’ in my studio there is still so much more I wish to explore and create. Creating in polymer clay enables me to physically sculpt colour - no paint, just minutely detailed sculpting of colour. There are brown mushrooms that actually look like this and it made my day when a local fungi expert thought a photo of my work was real. The delicate drape of the fungi caps is resonant of a swirling skirt in dance.
