BOUND is a project that examines, explores, and reflects on the complex underground networks that bind the soil, fungi, and plant life together. Vast mycelium networks occupy the space beneath the surface of nearly every natural area we humans inhabit. In many cases, organisms are dependent on these networks for nutrients and also for a special type of biological communication between various species. Life as we know it, quite literally, could not exist without them. This project is my way of paying homage and of contemplating our human connection to the planet.

This piece is inspired by the wonderful vanilla-smelling bark of the ponderosa pine tree in my back yard. The network structures are inspired by the shapes of slime molds and mycelium networks.

48″ wide by 36″ tall on 1.5″ cradled panels. The physical images were created using an image transfer process combined with mixed media techniques.
