About The Artwork
Made with the bioluminescent spores of Jack O’ Lantern mushrooms; depicts fennel/Foeniculum vulgare, an herb historically believed to impart strength and courage; in magic circles it’s attributed with clarity and finding solutions to difficult situations. Some say Prometheus carried the sun’s fire to earth with a stalk of fennel. I gathered it at the Penland School for Craft in late August of 2021. Part of The New Herbarium series and inspired by an Herbarium created by Emily Dickinson, I reimagine the centuries-old process of collecting and preserving plants for science and art.
