"The Mushroom, of Course!", 002houston Magazine, January 2010
Natural Recyclers is the Art League's latest exhibit (which also happens to be the League's first Patio installation since opening in 2008) and features an earth media installation by Nicola Parente and Divya Murthy.
Natural Recyclers is a long term project continuing to grow and evolve. Using mainly recyclable and renewable resources, Parente and Murthy created a site-specific installation consisting of three giant mushrooms whose bases are fabricated from rebar, soil and moss. The mushroom caps and stems are planted with Texas native and non-native, edible and herb plants. The use of the mushroom reflects the important role the fungi play in the ecosystem through its use of decomposing materials as its source of nourishment.
