This porcelain sculpture, inspired by the intricate forms of mycelium (the root network of fungi), explores the connection between the land and the psyche as a web of interconnected thinking bubbles. Mycelium acts as a silent architect beneath the surface, weaving through the earth and fostering life. Its hidden network could be seen as a metaphor for the invisible threads that bind us to the land, influencing our thoughts and emotions in profound ways. This sculpture is a visualization of these intangible connections. The organic, web-like forms of the mycelium, rendered in delicate porcelain, represent these thinking bubbles – the ever-shifting thoughts and emotions that arise from our relationship with the land. The stark white porcelain against the negative space evokes a sense of mystery and the unknown. It hints at the unseen processes occurring beneath the surface, both in the earth and within our minds. This artwork invites contemplation of the unseen forces that shape our environment and ourselves. The fragility of the porcelain reflects the preciousness of our planet and the delicate balance of the natural world, while the complexity of the web-like structure suggests the intricate connections between the land and our inner landscape. Does this sculpture spark your own thinking bubbles? Can you see yourself reflected in the intricate web of connections between the land and the psyche?
