    I adore these pieces from Beautiful Evidence, an exhibition by Thomas Allen inspired by his 8-year old daughter’s scientific wonder. It will be appearing at the Foley Gallery in NYC from September 9 - October 12.

    (S)Edition Installation by Melissa Jay Craig 

    Limited bookwork edition of 99 copies.

    Some people have uneasy, squeamish thoughts when they look at fungus: it’s something surreptitious, uncontrollable; it lives hidden underground in familiar locales, ready to spring to life unexpectedly, and it often manifests itself as part of the demise of another organism. Fungus is an agent of change. I’m fascinated with its myriad forms, and I love to go in search of it.”
