Forest Fungi 2
Kiln formed, pâte de verre and sandblasted glass, found fallen timber
40 H x 30 W x 18 D cm
Walking in dense forest during the wet winter months one often comes across fallen timber that has been colonised by fungi. The fungi can appear quickly, sometimes overnight, and wither and die just as rapidly. In the dim environment the fungi seem to glow with an inner light.
