Orange pore fungi and lichen 3D Thread Sculpture.

I adore trekking through New Zealand's national parks and remote native forests.  I'm attracted to the many textured patterns of bark, and colourful fungi that I find fascinating.  This is my sculpted thread version of the orange pore fungus (favolaschia claudopus) growing on a branchlet, and black stoneflower lichen (parmotrema perlatum) growing on a piece of bark.  These were both meticulously copied from real specimens that were found, photographed and re-created in thread.

Carefully pinned onto locally sourced pine wood, and encased in a clear acrylic box like a preserved museum specimen.

This measures:

Height:  22cm

Width:  22cm

Depth:  7cm.

Ready for hanging straight onto the wall. Each piece comes with its own signed certificate of authenticity.
