I’m Joe Peterson, and I’m exploring mycelium.
I find the challenge and connectivity of cultivating mycelium exciting.
As interconnected as the earth may be, oftentimes we are severed from it. I connect with earth through a disconnected, artificial but living organism. A double edged sword that I wield with caution and optimism. More on that.
And the best part? My art will one day return to nature. The same can’t be said for a lot of other materials and that’s unfortunate.
These sculptures are part of a larger, multi-media series on change and adaptation.
