The Mushroomer, 2007
Graphite and color pencil on paper
64 x 44.5 inches
The Mushroomer is a professional in producing fly agarics:
The professional pumps up debris that accumulate inside his testicles and bladder. A body reaction to the debris infiltration makes his oral mucous glands produce a sort of fungus that looks like a white egg, covered in the white warty material. As the mushroom grows, red colour appears through the broken veil while the cap turns hemispherical.
