Description
Chris Drury Spore Grid Variations is a set of four unique prints. They relate to his major dramatic work Spore Grid, 2019. This is one of many results in his work of his long-term interest in mushrooms. The entire work is a large wall installation of 35 mushroom spore prints. The artist took each spore print from very small fungi, which he left on the glass of a 35 mm. empty slide for around 6 hours. Chris put the resulting images, sandwiched in the glass slides, into a photographic projector. He then enlarged and exposed them onto R-type photographic paper. For display he mounted them onto 2 mm. thick aluminium panels.
The artist has made these four separate prints available at a special price.
