Art Quilt: Gathering in the Dark

Enoki mushrooms, when cultivated, remain white because they are grown in the dark. In the wild they turn various shades of browns and tans, but we rarely see them. Abstracting them as I cut out bits of scrap linen, the mushrooms also became trees and people. Gathering to try to figure things out in dark times.
