Artwork description:
In this print I have used litho printed chine collé alongside drypoint etching. This is made from two plates with different views of the same image. My aim here is to give a sense of movement, or a trace of what has been, but the result is almost abstract, losing definition. This represents mutualism between fungi and plants.
The title of this print comes from a chapter from Underland by Robert Macfarlane in conversation with Merlin Sheldrake. The understory is where the wood wide web can be found, beneath the tree canopy and the forest floor. And so much more: fungi, lichen, saplings.
