Description
This large-format poster book lets you decorate your walls with images from Katie Scott's Fungarium, created in partnership with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Featuring fungal life of all kinds, from around the world, it's a stunning celebration of all things mycological. Posters are double-sided, with the reverse showing a black-and-white, annotated version of the full-colour illustration.
Author Biography
Ester Gaya is a senior research leader at Kew. She began her career in mycology in Spain and after some time in the USA decided to settle in the UK. She has spent the past 20 years researching fungi. She is especially fascinated by lichens and tries to understand their evolution. Katie Scott graduated from University of Brighton in 2011. Her work draws influences from traditional medical and botanical illustration, both in aesthetic and subject matter. Her work plays with the ideas of scientific uncertainty and speculation, fabricating the inner and outer workings of the world. Her illustrations depict a familiar yet fantasy vision of plants, humans and minerals.
