“When I’m outside, I sometimes find myself overwhelmed by a sense of unease, as if the world around me is slowly moving towards an apocalypse. I see only a dying landscape. Yet when I look closer – in the woods, in a park, or even in my small city garden – I discover mushrooms growing. They ground me in the here and now and offer a window into the complexity and interconnectedness of the natural world of which I am a part.

In my visual work, I explore this mysterious web of life. It draws me into a fairytale-like realm, where mystery and imagination show the way” (Geertje Geertsma)
