My notable works include "Resemblances," a solo installation at UNSW Galleries, referencing extinct Australian plants, and "Sydney Blue Gum High Forest", a miniature painting series highly commended at the Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize (2020).

It is through mycelium that the fungus searches for and absorbs nutrients from the environment. Fungi have many complex and important roles in nature. As great decomposers, they produce enzymes that can break down a vast array […]
