This collaborative work is about a shared connection with the fungal universe and our response to each other’s making. Our collaboration reminded us of mycelia connected to plants over large distances, exchanging nutrients. We learned that we could work together over an average distance of 12 406 km’s to create and infuse each other to wander into new techniques and materials. We connected via social media platforms where new learning and ideas for making were shared and discovered.  We look at this work as a fusion of drawing and mushroom sculpture installation.  Like lichens are formed through symbiosis of algae and fungi, our separate, material artworks fused into a new, digital one.
