Mooshroom Dreams
Public Art
Commissioned to create an art cow of your creative choosing for an “Art Cow Pasture” installing soon in Orcutt CA.
I wanted to create something both real and imagined to spark creativity and to speak to how we are connected just as the mycelium network in nature connects and protects. the spores of the fungi float and are changed by the moon into fantastical dreams and creatures.
