Awesome article in @theguardian.com about Sam Shoemaker's mushroom kayak project. Sam will be exhibiting the kayak and documentation of the trip at my husband's gallery @fulcrumarts.org this October!

If art/science is your thing you should give Fulcrum a follow!

If you missed it (or if you didn’t), this is a great look at the ENERGY FIELDS exhibition curated by @rtaka.bsky.social & @room40.bsky.social for @fulcrumarts.bsky.social

Alba Triana’s work in this show was the best thing I saw in all of PST.
We've been waiting for months, and it's finally out! Huge thanks to PBS SoCal for putting so much love into this. @room40.bsky.social and I make a pretty decent team I think.
