LEEDS, MA – Last weekend, I attended the mycological association’s microscopy workshop and learned how to create a slide and use a microscope. This is something I’ve been wanting to get into for awhile now, and now that I have moved and have my own space I can plan/save some money to buy a microscope….

WEST CHESTERFIELD, MA – Last Sunday I went on my first mushroom walk with the Pioneer Valley Mycological Society! It was great meeting like-minded people and getting to know the area a bit. We went to Chesterfield Gorge in West Chesterfield. It’s about 35 minutes from work. I actually ran into someone from work who…
Title: Bioluminescent Mushroom Cultivation Year: 2014 At the conclusion of the Ayatana Artist Research Residency we took home grain that we inoculated to cultivate Bioluminescent Mushrooms.
Last Fall during my Biophilia residency in Wakefield, QC/Ottawa, CA I found an Imperial Moth on the ground during the last day of the residency. Apparently these are pretty uncommon so it was cool to see such a creature. 8 months later, just before I go on my next residency this wonderful creature turned into…

I’m skipping over Wednesday because most of Wednesday I was sick. I stayed at the ranch for the afternoon, took a bath and a couple of naps. By dinner I was feeling a lot better. Later that evening we had an artist talk from a local artist who scans moths and makes prints from them…

It was about a 9.5 hour drive in total, probably the most I have ever driven alone. It seemed a straightforward trip and after driving an hour and a half for work when I worked out in Western MA back and forth, I felt like I was prepared. I had also been driving all over…

From it’s website, “The Ayatana Artist Research Program is a Canadian, artist run, residency program dedicated to encouraging…
