I strive not only to revive ancestral techniques and materials to create dwellings and artistry, but also to reclame our collective creativity, envisioning a world thriving on ecological practices and rich in community bonds.

At the same time, in modern American culture, fungi have been dangerously neglected, misunderstood, vilified, condemned and deemed as nothing more than harmful pests.
