Second year sculpture with Jim Corte- Symbiosis of ascocarp fungus with organic dead plant material such as fallen leaves, twigs or logs.

This is representative of the process in which pods are formed from the dead biomass. The found object stainless steel from a industrial kitchen were sandblasted for a dull look. The roots are bent round rod that are welded together. The pods were all casted from the original mold with layers of latex, handmade papers, moss, sand, and piping for plumbling used to connect it to the steel logs. Lights lit by batteries were then placed in the hollow steel structure and then fed through to the pods. When the lights are out the pods glow and pulsate to bring them to life and symbolize the reproduction of the asocarp fungus. Advanced Sculpture 2007 fall- spring 2008.
