[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

*Public Service Announcement*

*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*



Mushrooms creating their own art prints. Mycophilia, Volume II:

*An artshow of mushroom spore prints by Victoria artist Roberta Pyx
Sutherland.*


“I contracted a fascination and love of mushrooms in the final days of my
first residency in 2017,” confesses Sutherland.



>From her first solo show at the Victoria Art Gallery in the 1980’s, her
work has focused on the environment and the interconnectivity of all life
forms.



“If you saw any of the work at my exhibition last year at Caetani you
realized I had a severe case with fully blown symptoms! I’m inspired by the
relationships of cosmic patterning and divine intelligence*,” *Sutherland
explains.



This artshow deepens an exploration of mushroom spore printing she started
last year, as an artist-in-residence at the Caetani Centre, but the weather
in October 2018 was very different than the weather in October 2019.



“Despite the early frost, Caetani House and this beautiful season in Vernon
have offered the opportunity to further research the hidden possibilities
of  inter-species collaborations.”



The mushrooms were harder to find, yet she pulled it off.



Roberta Pyx Sutherland is a contemporary Canadian artist who works from
Victoria and Hornby Island.



Her work is represented in a number of public collections including the
Canada Council for the Arts, Burnaby Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Greater
Victoria, Toronto Public Library, University of British Columbia, Concordia
University Library, and the Bibliothèque de Genève
