De stilte van de bodem in het bos op deze herfstdag. Wat een kleurenpalet. Een herinnering aan de zomer.

Group Effort
Distribution and reproduction can be a group effort. The mushroom is Hypholoma fasciculare (sulphur tuft, gewone zwavelkop). Beautiful but bitter and poisonous. Coming out as a group can be highly effective for spreading the message.

Four Elements
The Chobe National Park is where the four elements of air, earth, fire and water come together. The grey/white, red, yellow and, respectively, blue form a characteristic colour palette of this part of Africa. The painting symbolises the raging dynamics that climate change can have on nature, here the dry forest lands.

Boletus in Forest
I found this Boletus edulis (penny bun, cèpe de Bordeaux, porcino, panza, Steinpilz, Herrenpilz, eekhoorntjesbrood) in the forest near my home. What a beauty. I gave it my personal touch. The colours are expressing the essence of nature. I printed and framed it for my grandchildren’s room.
This mushroom lives in close harmony (symbiosis!) with the roots of trees. It gives nitrogen and other nutrients to the roots and gets fixed carbon in return. With this building material, it can expand its network.
