I have meditated on the visual representations and being of time in mushrooms that grow on trees. 
A dendrocronological time. 
All the lines are creating an optical effect.
And therein it takes another kind of time to look at them.

During this time of isolation i have gone deep into a self on my long walks in the woods and looked at these mushrooms. I read that most of the mushrooms are growing because the tree is wounded and on it way to dying or already dead, and i have thought a lot about my own future dying that i am on my way to inevitably. contemplating my mortality and letting myself feel it. In this quarantine i both seemed to have all the time in the world and no time at all. It is a time of now or never when you want to do things with your life.

the analog drawings are then flipped and reversed in order to create symmetri and resonate with the digital and the internet which is also a nature in itself. The mushrooms mycelium under ground connects the trees like we are connected by the world wide web.
and the drawings become more than just representations of reality, but an abstraction of it, to think, feel and question the experiences i have in the world in me and around me.

I hope this is enough contextulisations.
