Kate’s Bioluminescent Photograms in SF This Weekend

My new bioluminescent photograms will be shown this weekend as part of ArtSpan’s San Francisco Open Studios event! These prints are from my Hacking Photographic Memory series and many have not been shown publicly before.

I’ll be there along with eleven other amazingly talented artists. Come by and say hello!

Saturday, 11/2 & Sunday, 11/3

11am-6pm

SHARED
739 Bryant Street (between 5th & 6th Streets)
San Francisco, CA 94107

Lots of studios will be open so it’s easy to make a day of it. Here’s a link to the map and artists’ listings.

Pick up a Guide at my studio location and plan your tour around town. Or you can download the SF Open Studios App here.

I’ll be there to talk about my process and you can ask me in person why I use glowing fungus to make images.

If you know of other people that enjoy looking at art, please forward this invite to them.

Hope to see you soon if not this weekend!

Cheers,
Kate

Above are a few images that I gathered from a camping trip last summer in the California Mountains. Even though it was summer, there were still large patches of snow due to the long spring season. I really loved how the snow was so delicately receding from each item it surrounded. Lots of beautiful fungi and plants were all around.

Finally, a Martha Mushroom Tart! Yes, after years of ogling the great projects that Martha Stewart has featured, I actually made one! Of course I made a few of my own amendments to the recipe but it tasted pretty darn good. Fennel and fungus made a terrific match here. The cheese didn't hurt.

decoy garden

found in one of those landscapes that is a decoy for pristine, a decoy for a yard where you'd really like to do cartwheels in the grass and a decoy for a place where scary things don't grow. but here it was, following the crack of a tree trunk like a zipper—nature in the fake garden.
