Mold and bacteria sampled and grown in petri dishes, then photographed to discover the intricacies and unique microcosms created by these natural apparatuses. Each sample becomes an organic living painting, generated by nature, entropy, and an authentic intelligence.

All of the samples were taken around my home and neighborhood. Sometimes of just air in a room, rotting food items, mold or mildew on a tree bark or from sitting water. The red plated dishes are made with animal blood that helps grow various bacterias in addition to mold while the Luria broth dishes will grow fungus and mold.

New apparatuses minting soon! Also all new samples have begun growing and will be photographed and minted in the coming weeks.
