KAT ROSE

"I have been making protest banners that discuss how essential fungi are to our planet. I'm particularly interested in environmental activism in my work so I seek to communicate messages like these. This project is so vital to me as well as to the Earth and humans themselves. Many trees and plants simply could not exist without mycorrhizal symbiosis with fungi. When talking about climate change, mushrooms are aiding the absorption of carbon and reducing the impact of global warming. These banners educate about the importance of fungi in our ecosystems, combining text with fungal imagery of spores, mycelium and fruiting mushrooms. I used the research from my essay which I have visually interpreted into a massive quilt as a research document, using all the skills I had learnt such as appliqué and fabric screenprint to make a huge protest banner to end my project. The work of Thalia Campbell at the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp has been particularly influential to me. I hope to inspire change."
