Elin Thomas has used the "mold and lichen" motif on everything from clothing to book covers and more, but her exhibition pieces are arguably her most intriguing, because rather than using these individual elements as an accent, or simple adornment, these larger pieces capture the random distribution of colonies over an area, which to me is every bit as fascinating and visually captivating as the formations themselves.
That really is some neat shit. And skillfully done too. That's beautiful work!
