An appreciation for the complexities of growing mold drives the desire to explore the processes of growth and decay. The work challenges us into questioning our perception of mold as repulsive, highlighting its intricate beauty and representing its fragile yet powerful existence. Within the body of work the hidden power and potential danger of mold is emphasised through the use of expressive organic mark-making, flowing forms and a pastel colour palette. The textures depicted capture the flourishing presence of fungus while the deliberate use of circular application of marks, emphasises the strength and focuses attention to its delicate aesthetics.
