AUSPICIOUS AGARICUS

The AUSPICIOUS AGARICUS sprout opportunely to celebrate the symbiotic relationship between habitat and inhabitant. This series spotlights the intrinsic supportive powers unique to the fungal kingdom and features the perpetual dance between form and function. It explores the many shapes and sizes and colours specific to the fleshy cap of the mushroom and in particular its underside of organic fluttering gills. At times embraced with a bronze floral twig, the Auspicious Agaricus stands in testament to the strength of symbiotic relationships that flourish between crafts. The mysterious figures that thrive in this pursuit grow into wondrous sculptural beings living among us to bring visions from the rich forest woodlands and enliven our world.

 Always flirtatious, cheerful and bright, these occasional tables parade their charm roaming free until a glass needs to settle and, in that moment, function prevails.
