Description
‘Symbiosis’ by artist/author Tina Wilson
Limited Edition Print: Watercolour painting on Arches Aquarelle
In nature the ecosystem is constantly working in a cycle of life. Fungi, although not traditionally seen as beautiful, like rainforest orchids, plays an important role in the eco-system. Fungi are the decomposers in the food web, converting organic matter that is hard to digest into forms other organisms can use. The orchid depicted here, Sarcochilus fitzgeraldii (commonly known as the Ravine Orchard) has been spotted on Mt Cougal and Wollumbin.
Symbiosis
Sculptures
Yellowing brown
Mould themselves
Beneath a living forest. Breathing
In, then
Out
Sacrificing its host
In order for life to
Spring again
