Boston-based artist Corey Corcoran is enthused by quite the strange canvas. Using Artist Conk mushrooms (also called Ganoderma applanatum) he carves complicated designs and story on top of the outside of these squashy fungi. A great deal of his employment draws motivation as of nature and natural forms, and this scheme is no exemption. Each small canvas ranges in size as of 6 to 24 inches wide. Creating these astonishing illustrations on such small surfaces requires a stable hand and a full eye, together of which appear to be Corcoran’s strengths. The performer works with the feel in the mushrooms to generate his shapes and pattern. As he scratches over the outside of the mushrooms, the colors alter into darks and lights and a diversity of shadows which combine satisfactorily together to form the imaginative vision of the artist.
