'Fungicidal II' by Michelle Kelly

I am drawn to the multiple intricacies of Fungi and the vital role they play in sustaining life on our planet. These small framed works are inspired by the growth and forms of the Fungi Kingdom. Their fruiting bodies emerge, disperse spores and return to the earth. Their lives are short but full of purpose and wonder.
 
A quote by Paul Stamets, Mycologist
 
"Mushrooms hold the secrets to the universe, to life on our planet, and the core of our being,”

FARINA, REAL and IMAGINED - by: Adrian Caon

My interest in things obsolescent took me to the railway ghost town of Farina in the far north of SA. The aging structures and objects that I recorded on film were set in a tranquil but eerie semi-desert setting. I wanted the resulting black and white silver prints to better reflect the present, but also an imaginary existence … perhaps the future on planet earth. And so, I partially coloured the prints by various analogue techniques, using bleach, toner, oil paint, pencil, etc.
 
Photography is intimately associated with obsolescence, it being a recording of a moment in time that then vanishes. Both the location and all the photographic methods used are obsolescent, but they allowed me to play with time to reference change.
