Mushroom Studio

I’ve been meaning to post this photo for some time, but my regular camera broke a few weeks ago so all I’m left with right now is the camera on my phone, and the quality isn’t too good. Anyway, it’s a photo taken in the Toronto Sculpture Garden, which I pass every day on my way to work, and it’s a giant mushroom (specifically, Amanita pantherina) currently on display, which is actually a working studio for Canadian artist Katie Bethune-Leamen. The art pieces in the garden change every 6-12 months, or so, and this is the exhibit du jour.

Isn’t that a cool place to work, even if a bit cramped? I keep expecting to see a giant, hookah-smoking caterpillar sitting on top of it one day, as I walk by on my way to the office.
