Mycology is concerned with the study of fungi, from the familiar mushrooms and toadstools to the thousands of invisible organisms only perceived through electron microscopy. Manning’s drawings are imaginative interpretations of magnified images of fungi and slime moulds, where the filaments, capillaries and spore heads are explored for their decorative beauty; qualities which transcend the underlying toxicity of many of the subject organisms. Coming from a background in three dimensional weaving, Manning finds the process of building these drawings both meditative and absorbing.
