Original watercolor painting on archival cotton rag paper. The world of lichen is an incredible boundless realm of possibility. Lichen are perfect partnerships of algae, bacteria, and fungi, forming unique structures that are much more than the sum of their parts. This painting explores that phenomena. Watercolor is a perfect medium for this in its spontaneous unpredictability. As with the lichen worlds that inspired it, the interactions of the environmental conditions, water level, pigments, and paper create something unique in the moment.
