Sporeprint
Mold grown in significant substrate.
Monotypes printed by pressing mold into paper, transferring the spores as ink. Collecting spores from mushrooms is often used to identify individual species, whereas prints here represent whole communities and how they interacted while growing. The growing medium itself is a mixture of personal ingredients, ranging from spit to what I ate for dinner. The resulting print is an image not just of inter-fungal relations, but of the often invisible human-fungal relation. A fingerprint.
The monotypes are framed in reused cabinet doors, exposed to the elements: recycling and decay.
