Mushroom Cafe mural by Jonathan Solter
Within the mycelium world, star seeds and spore aliens share a symbiotic relationship with the bioluminescent mushrooms in which they live. To honor CoSM’s founders, I portrayed within my mural Allyson Grey’s Secret Language and the profile faces of Alex Grey’s “Net of Being.” Using fluorescent paint, this mural, seen with a RGB color changing light, would glow through a rainbow of color.
