Shroomlapses / Slimelapses | Timelapses I made of oyster mushrooms and the slime mold physarum polycephalum. These pieces grew out of early experiments for CRAWLER (see below).
CRAWLER | [work in progress] a webcomic with embedded animations and games. CRAWLER's narrative is about bugs, fungus, and prehistoric gods trying to turn the earth back into primordial soup. The project includes a parallel educational series of short videos exploring the science, history, and ethical discussion around mass extinction events and stewardship.
