Mushrooms
Memento Mori
A weathered skull taken over by moss, lichen and a crowd of mushrooms. Life moving into what was left behind.
What caught our eyeMemento mori is Latin for "remember that you must die". Here it becomes a garden: the skull is not the end of the picture, it is the ground something else grows from.

Field notes
Memento mori is an old Latin phrase, and an old subject for artists: a skull set in the picture as a reminder. We kept the idea and changed the mood. Nothing here is grim for its own sake. Moss covers the bone, small flowers and lichen settle in the cracks, and mushrooms of every colour come out of the eyes, the mouth and the top of the head.
The skull is rendered with care: pitted bone, worn teeth, thin white roots crossing the surface. The mushrooms bring the colour, with bright red caps, brown ones, pale fringed ones and a yellow-green one on the right, so the eye keeps moving between the bone and what grows on it.
It is made as a large back print, a full composition on a dark shirt. Part of the Mushrooms collection.
This is an illustration, not an identification guide, and nothing here is advice about picking or eating anything.
